    Change of circumstances may apply.

    The redundancy is divided by the amount of years service and applied to the application. 50,000 divided by 10 years is only 5000 reckonable.
    If your mother is currently unemployed then you must apply for a change of circumstances and all income for last year will be removed and an average of the income (Social Welfare) for the coming year will be applied.

    It may be more difficult to ascertain the income for your father if he is also not working but self employed. AFAIK, the income for self employment for the previous year is still reckonable unless there are exceptional circumstances and the return to work maybe delayed indefinitely.

    Cheers so they won't just put down the 50k as what she was 'paid' for last year she got it in June and don't think she got social welfare to about October so what would her income be give for take?
    As my for dad he earned definitely under 10 grand he said to me and it's down as that.
    Also not to sound snobbish but we are quite well off like house,cars,money in the bank wise will they check this?Can they look into bank funds no?

    All income is checked with revenue and the department of social welfare.

    You must put the full amounts on your application and SUSI will make the calculations as top what is reckonable or not.

    and the grant assistance is for people that require it to enable them attend third level education. If you really don't need it, then you shouldn't really apply. It is not an entitlement as some people seem to think. It assistance, just like a welfare payment.
