I have recently been accepted into 2nd year on a degree course. As I have a national certificate in the course already. I am 31 single, no kids and was layed of work towards the end of November, so I have been claiming unemployment benefit since then. My course starts at the end of September 2009. I have been told that because I have not been on welfare payment for a year I am not entitled to it, I think I am about 45 days short.
Also I have been told that because I have am entering the course at year 2 that disqualifies me for it also.
I cannot get a job at the moment, and I cannot afford to go back to college unless i get this payment as I have mortgage.
I would be willing to go into year one of the course if they would give me the payment. It seems ridiculous to me that they are not going to give it to me because of this.
So instead of trying to better myself. I will more than likely be stuck at home getting welfare anyway, as I have been trying since November to get work but I can't get anything.
If anyone knows a way around this I would appreciate your info
thanks
