Hi,
I am 24.I currently live with my parents in Laois. I have lived in Cork since I was 18,I was renting down there until i went to Aus for 1 year.I came back in Dec. I am currently getting Jobseekers Allowance.
I will be going to college in September.I hope to go back on the BTEA scheme. This course is in Cork. So I would have to move down there and live. Which I am happy about ,as Cork is really my home.
My parents don't want me staying at home any longer.I have been asked to move out as soon as possible,. I only get 188 a week.Which is fine for buying my own food etc.When living at home,but I dont believe I can afford rent ,elect etc .
I have been trying to get around my parents.Asking them to allow me to stay at home until September.That way I will have saved a little bit too.
The questions I have are,
If I move to Cork in September.I have read people on BTEA can get Rent Supplement but only if they are already recieveing it. Is this true?? It seems very stupid as how is anyone who isn't from a city to return to college without renting??
If I can't get around my parents. And have to leave. How do I go about claiming rent allowance.I read I need to go on the Council Housing list and then I can get it. How do i get on the council list ? And also as I have lived with my parents in Laois.Wil they accept me in Cork??
How long is RA taking to be approved?
Will I be expected to have already got an apartment before applying to the City Council and CWO for Rental Allowance??
If anyone can tell me whats involved with going on the Council list so as to get RA I'd appreciate all advice.
