    Hey guys, when I was filling out the grant application online I simply asked my mother how much she earns a week and multiplied it by 52.

    However, when her tax forms came in the post she earnt about €800 more than I calculated due to overtime etc. even taking the €800 into account I'd still be way under the reckonable income limits..

    I should also add that I'm applying for a fee grant only, so it won't effect what band of grant I would fall under.

    I'm just wondering will this miscalculation have any effect on my application? I.e will SUSI see it as me giving wrong information and disqualify the application?

    Thanks for any help..

    I did the same thing- I just emailed them saying what I had left out. Then I rang the help desk to confirm that they had seen the email. The man on the phone said it should be grand but for some reason I don't trust the SUSI system, I keep expecting the application to be cancelled any day now :/

    Having said that, if they do cancel it it is still early enough to start the process again or appeal it :)

    Hey Fiona, if the information would have no effect on my grant application do I still need to contact susi?

    For instance, The difference on my mams P60 was only €800 to the income I put on the application form. I'm just applying for a fee grant and by my calculation my reckonable income would still be about €10K under the limits given.

    Due to the fact I'm only applying for a fee grant it wouldn't effect what level of grant I'm entitled to as I don't want the maintainence part of a grant.

    Thanks for your reply and help, really appreciate it.

    Just also to clear up any confusion,

    My mam did not earn €800 on top of what is stated on her P60. She earned €800 more than what I put on the application form.

    So the information on the documents I supplied to Susi would be accurate, the information I supplied on the application form is €800 less than what she actually earns.

    Thanks..
