Can you claim BTWEA if you claimed it 8 years ago? Used it to start a business and employed people but got hit by downturn. Now looking to set something different up?
If you have previously participated in the BTWEA scheme and exhausted your entitlement, you can participate a second time after a period of at least 5 years has elapsed.
A claimant who has previously participated in the BTWA/BTWEA scheme may re-qualify for BTWEA (2 year scheme since 1/05/2009) after a period of five years has elapsed provided they satisfy the new qualification criteria for the scheme.
