    Hi all, I am posting this for a friend.

    They are currently enrolled in a 3rd level institution and have Back to Education Allowance after having been on Jobseekers Benefit.

    If they get temporary work during the summer months rather than sign back onto Jobseekers benefit, will they be able to re-claim Back to Education allowance?

    Yes. As long as they are back on their regular payment before the start of the college year they should be fine. But it would do them no harm to let the SW know the situation.

    Full time students cannot claim Jobseekers during the summer months. This may be different for people claiming BTEA though.
