I am seeing and hearing clashing information about the SUSI grant. On Citizens Information, I read;

"Your reckonable income is the total amount of your net family income. This is income from all sources (including most social welfare payments) after tax, PRSI and USC have been deducted."

But on the SUSI website it says:
"The income calculation is based on gross income from all sources for the previous calendar year."

I've 3 in college. It's killing me, even though I saved for 20 years for it.

"paid in the reference period only" is important. They are not interested in pension payments paid in the current year, set against the previous years tax.
