I understand from SUSI that data in relation to the number of persons refused a student grant as a result of not providing requested supporting documentation within the specified timeframe, would be available. However, specific data regarding the numbers from that cohort that are refused on the basis that they are unable to verify their place of residence, is not currently available. The Deputy will appreciate that very significant numbers of third-level students move out of home to go to college and continue to be supported by their parents while in full-time education. Confirmation that a student is living separately from their parents/guardians is, of itself, not sufficient to establish independent status.
