    A year's worth of bank statements highlighting the exact same amount of money leaving my account weekly under the name 'rent' as well as a copy of a lease and a signed letter from my former landlord, my car insurance correspondence with my car registered to that address, payslips from a part time job near the address (over 200km from my family home), a letter from the garda vetting agency confirming I was vetted at that address, letters from revenue to that address all useless.

    Yet a utility bill magically proves I wasn't financially dependant on my family. OK makes loads of sense. You can't pay a bill and be receiving financial support simultaneously from your family?

    You erroneously listed documents deemed as acceptable in your opening post, now that you know that half of what you posted isn't acceptable surely you must admit it's a stupid system?

    In that post I listed 4 different utility bills that you could pick from.
    You have none?
    My daughter is only in a shared student rental Monday to Friday but her name is on the gas bill.
    A utility bill demonstrates that you entered into a contract with a utility company. There’s electricity gas telephone broadband media. You weren’t responsible for any of these bills. Who was?

    It's not that difficult to fathom, I was in a licensee agreement with a homeowner. The bills were in their name and they also weren't requirerd to register my tenancy.

    A utility bill doesn't prove anything, I'm assuming your daughter is completely financially independent of you then if she's paying the gas? Where does she stay at weekends if she's financially independent of you? If she was staying at home on weekends then your are supporting her financially as she doesn't have to pay rent. You could easily send 100 euro a week despite her paying the gas bill. So tell me how does a utility prove financial independence?

    You've really never seen "bills included in rent" before on rooms advertised to rent?

    I know you're desperate to defend SUSI's stance but any logical person can see it's nonsensical and completely incompatible with modern renting conditions. The fact is that I sent them an enormous amount of evidence and they've refused it based purely on their box ticking, even though any intelligent person would look at the evidence and conclude that I simply must have lived where I said I did.

    In order to prove that you were living independently you need to show a rent book/rental agreement/lease .

    None of these are acceptable forms of documentation.
