In the case of a dependent student, the income of the applicant and his or her parents are taken into account in determining whether the student qualifies for a grant.Concerns were raised previously at the Dáil Public Accounts Committee regarding the evidence SUSI asks from for students involved difficult family situations.

“SUSI, in assessing the evidence presented, will have regard to the particular circumstances in each case and the corroborative nature of the evidence available to support the claim of separation,” he states. SUSI provides a list of documents that are considered as evidence of separation, he explains in the letter, stating that “ultimately, the onus is on the grant applicant to provide the necessary documentary evidence to support his/her application”.
