The answer

If the situation is as described, then one should present themselves to the responsible authority and undergo a medical examination. By doing so, the money becomes permissible, the doubt is removed, and the person is spared embarrassment. It appears that the requirement for a medical examination would be from an entity affiliated with or accredited by the Ministry. However, if the person's presence abroad for study prevents them from attending and retaking the examination, then there is no harm in taking the money, as long as the description applies to them.
