Hi,
I am unemployed and have been for almost 2years now. I have been receiving job seekers allowance and rent allowance in Kilkenny. I have an Honours Degree in Applied Social Care but I am now thinking of going back as a mature student and doing a Post Graduate Diploma in Primary Teaching. This is an 18month long course. The trouble is I am currently living in Kilkenny and receiving these payments. If I go back to college, I am unsure as to what I will be entitled to. Will I be entitled to a grant or Back to Education Allowance. Also, I would need to move closer to Limerick and so I dont know if I will be able to continue receiving my rent allowance. I dont want to move down to a new county and have no money for rent etc. Can anyone advise me in relation to my entitlements please?
 
More appropriate for the welfare and state benefits forum, as you're asking about entitlements rather than the education courses themselves.
