Additional grant application form sought stating NOT applying for BTEA?

    So, I'm off to UCC as a mature student and my wife's off to CIT, heading into her final year after a 1 year break in studies. I passed in my grant application to County Cork HEG and no probs, I was in the city so also passed in my wifes application to Cork City VEC and no probs. Was then handed a form and told it needed to be completed by social welfare and stamped stating that my wife has NOT applied for BTEA? Huh? It already asks in the grant form if you'll be getting or have applied for BTEA? The folks I passed my application into didn't need any such form completed, yet the folks my wife gets her grant form from do? Anyone ever come across such a form before? It's here.

    Now we can get it filled in (I suspect) however my wife doesn't even get Social Welfare, she has a PPSN but aside from that has never had anything to do with Social Welfare. My wife is my adult dependent on my Social Welfare claim (Disability Allowance) and doesn't in her own right get any SW payment.

    Anyway, has anyone ever come across a form like this? Nowhere on studentfinance.ie does it say such a form needs to be completed, in fact it tells you exactly what forms are required for a grant application and that ain't one of them? Thanks.
