Is it a serious problem or how to solve this issue if student want to reapply
studetn is from low risk visa national.

Caseworkers must decide each case on its merits, but examples of reasons that might be considered beyond the control of applicants are:
• the applicant was admitted to hospital for emergency treatment (evidenced by an official letter verifying the dates of admission and discharge and the nature of the treatment)
• a close family bereavement
• an educational institution was not sufficiently prompt in issuing a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS)
If a caseworker decides to use discretion it must be authorised by a senior caseworker, at Senior Executive Officer (SEO) grade or above. In these circumstances a caseworker must grant leave under the rules, with the same duration and conditions as a normal grant of leave under the rules attached to it. The decision letter must be clear that leave is being granted because the migrant met all other requirements of the route and the caseworker has accepted there were exceptional circumstances which prevented the applicant from making an in-time application.
