€30 over for special rate - anything I can do?

    Income is just about €30 over the special rate (22,703).
    I'm going into 3rd year and my sister is going into 1st year in a different college.

    Is there anything I can do to try and get the special rate? Do you think a letter or something would be of any use or are they very strict on the cut off points?

    They are quite strict

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    You won't get it on 2011 income even if it's €1 over. Was the social welfare payment cut in the Budget last year or did any other income assessed decrease in 2012? If so, you can ask for reassessment on 2012 income (current income) as a change in circumstances (i.e. lower income)
