| Dec 8, 2021 at 21:08 | comment | added | Davislor | @BitWrecker The Catholic Church calls the person asking for a dispensation a petitioner or supplicant, although that connotes humbly asking for permission. Someone who receives it is the beneficiary or recipient of the dispensation. Informally, you might say dispensee, although this word is not in the dictionary. The broader word grantee is. | |
