Hi

My son is currently applying to Universities for 2019/20 onwards, and I am considering applying for a SUSI grant for him.

I am out of work, and my wife is self employed but definitely earns less than the threshold. However I have some savings set aside from my redundancy pay, and I own two houses (neither generating any income from rental). Will my savings and property be taken into account in the means test, or is it purely based on income?

Thanks
