    Expenses and Maintenance Grants


    Ok I have been searching through the threads but havnt really found an answer yet. I will be starting training for the reserve soon. The question I have is will the expenses paid annually affect my maintenance grant? This was raised in the Dail however not directly answered! Anybody around here in a similar situation?

    Apologies to the mods if theres a similar thread!

    Unless things have dramatically changed your maintenance grant is means tested on initial application then each year all you have to do is get your college to confirm your still in your course.

    Therefore they wont ask re your income.

    Notwithstanding that > Unless your in the highest grant category (with the top up grant - circa e6,000 if your getting full non-adjacent rate) then it would hardly push you over a limit. Even if you are on that full amount you are allowed earn a small amount (allowed for as Student Part time "summer earnings") and the GR allowance certainly wouldnt cap that. *ALL* income must be included in your grant application, but Students summer earnings get a separate part in the form and be discounted by awarding authority.

    In other words if its your only personal income it wont affect you, and if your assessed on your parents income its highly unlikely to affect your eligability.

    Only your local grants authority can advise on same.
