The test under section 55 of the Act is to ensure that you as data
controller are acting under the "reasonable belief" that the enquirer is
entitled to the information they seek.
Its not clear from the context of your enquiry whether you would wish to
assist the enquirer, or not. I assume, being mischievous, that if you do not
wish to assist the enquirer then your test for deciding what is reasonable
is higher than would be the case if you did wish to assist.

Subject: Data disclosure
Hello, can anyone help,
A student here is putting us under pressure to release information about
them. They want to know if their Student Loan cheque is ready for
collection. As confirmation of this would imply that the person is a
student here we normally ask that students come in with a copy of their
enrolment form. If we ask the student to provide name, address, Student ID
number and Student Support Identification Number is this sufficient care to
enable us to provide this data.
Thanks
Neil Davidson
