Hi,
I was on BTEA payment in 2012/2013 academic year (third-level). I have summer break now, but I'm going back to college on September. I was in Social Welfare today, and I was told that my application for Jobseeker Allowance for the summer period was disallowed because of my husband's earning.
I was also told that I won't be entitled for BTEA from September if I won't get any social payments during the summer break, is that truth?
To be honest I don't know what I should do now. I have passed all exams and I really would like to go back to college but without any payments I won't have money to do it
Does anyone know if there are any expemtions for people who were previously on BTEA payments?
If I'm not qualify for BTEA without social welfare payments during the summer break, what other help I could receive to finish the college?
Hope I explain my issue properly
Thanks for help.
