Reassessment susi

bri007

Hi, I was informed for susi grant renewal this year that it will be a reassessment. I renewed as soon as susi opened back up but I haven't received any documentation requests yet and it's in over 7 weeks now!

Is this normal, I Remember last year I had to do a reassessment as well, but I got the documentation requests within two weeks!

SUSI may not require any documents. You should check the online tracker in the susi account for any updates.
If SUSI do require any document, there is no real time scale other than up to six weeks initial processing

I applied in early May, and i got a request for documents last week. I'm a renewing applicant by the way.

No everyone would get a request for documents, renewals or first time applicants.
Every application would be different but a lot of applications are not required to submit documents unless there would be something that needs to be verified that was submitted on the application.
SUSI have direct links to other government departments for the majority of Revenue and Social Welfare information and this can be retrieved directly into their system.
Where an applicant has attended any education in 3 of the last 5 years, they can use this for residence.

Example of where a student would be requested to provide documents:
Where a household has reckonable income from Self employment or rental, documents would be requested as the accounts for these types of income would have add-back (income that is allowed by revenue but not allowed for the purpose of the grant assessment)

or

If there has been a change of course or college.
