Im looking for some advice on my situation... I am in receipt of OPB for my 18yr old that will leave secondary school this coming June and hopefully will go to 3rd level.
My son will be 19 in June so I think I will lose my benefit once he leaves secondary sch? Can I reapply once my son is in third level? Is there any payment to fill this financial void until possibly oct/nov when all is clear about the 3rd level situation?

Many thanks in advance.

If you are available for and genuinely seeking work, you can claim Jobseeker's Allowance after your son finishes school.
 
Thanks Welfarite.
I work part time and the OPB supplements my income. My concern is the gap without payment from May until Oct when he will be in 3rd level when I hopefully will continue with the OPB. I hope this makes it a little clearer..thanks v much P
