Our lawyers were invited by the Dutch national news (NOS) to talk about the unlawful 56-hour requirement as set by DUO.
[Quote translated]
"Attorneys suspect that DUO has set the norm too high on purpose, to scare off EU students:
EU students often think 'I do not work enough to be eligible for study finance', so they do not even apply. The students that do apply and are rejected because they do not meet the 56-hour criterium, often do not pursuit it any further. For the students that do fight this decision, for example in an objection or appeal procedure, it can take 6, 9 or even 12 months before they finally get what they are entitled to."
