Student Loan Independent Assessors
Dear Department for Business, Innovation and Skills,
I wish to formally request under the Freedom of Information Act that you send me the statistics and ratios of how many cases the 8 independent assessors have found to be in the favour of the student since they were appointed.
In comparison, in how many cases have the independent assessors awarded the student the full funding they requested, in comparison to a low ex gratia offer?
I would also like to request that you explain the justification in appointing the independent assessors at a rate of £500 per day and their contract states that they should take two days per case but in fact they take up to 12 weeks?
Yours faithfully,
Jessica Taylor
