The SLB’s policy is to disqualify anyone who is found guilty of fabricating information on the application form from accessing SLB financial assistance for two years, i.e. – the year of the offence and the following year. However in a situation where offenders wish to appeal they may write to the appeals committee for review within the two-year period. After two years, such individuals may apply directly to the SLB board to have his/her situation reviewed.
