Scenario:
Person worked for 10 years approx, laid off in early 2011
Received JSB for 9-12 months
Went back to college - various courses
(1) short FAS course
(2) Springboard course (for unemployed) in UCD
(3) now in UCD doing a Diploma/Masters, started in Sep 2012
Couldn't get JSA as in college - fair enough
Applied for student grant and also BTEA - refused as had 200k in savings from redundancy / SSIA / general savings
Buys a house in 2014, all savings used up
Now has no income and very little cash
College course due to finish in May 2014
Applied to the CWO for anything, e.g. SWA - refused
I'm just curious does anybody have any advice?
When college course is over, they can apply for JSA, okay.
But for 3-4 months, they will be surviving off tiny amount of cash....
I would have thought that SWA would be paid, but it was refused.
