Sorry, I don’t understand. Do you mean it’s fraudulent and just trying to find someone who rubber stamps it so they can get benefits they are not entitled to?

Yeah, say there's a "major criteria" A, which they don't meet, aren't close to meeting, and have been told they will fail their application on. There's then criteria B, C, D which are a bit more nuanced, and require a lot more detail. A is a prereq for B, C, and D, and directly impacts the criteria for B, C, and D. The application is failed for not meeting Criteria A.

The appeal comes in asking for all of the subjective feedback and analysis on B, C and D. Because it's government, she has to provide all of that but the reality is that if they fix _all of those issues_, the application will still fail due to the original reason. But it's 10x more work to actually prepare the report for B, C, and D to that level (which is one of the reasons A is a prerequisite). The groups are just looking for any reason on the other criteria to say that they've been unfairly treated and to raise publicly, when the problem is they don't meet the primary criteria in the first place.
