It all depends on the amount of people going for your courses via the scheme etc.
Look at this thread from last year. Someone was bumped off 25 points, another guy was forgiven whole 70 points.

I think I heard somehwere the max. is 70, but ya never know.
I hope I get it, it'd be such a stress reliever!:L
But although I live in a disadvantaged area I'm that few metres closer to what I wouldn't even call a town so I mighten't get it. My brother didn't for that reason.

No clue if I'll get it. I live in a small town/village with a primary school, few shops and pubs...

[Whatsernamex33]

Is it in Dublin? I've a fair idea which places are classed as disadvantaged in Dublin.. I know when I applied last year, the place where I'm living wasn't classed at disadvantaged (:

Its usually between 10-15% of your points up to 50 points

says if you got 350 and you get 10% of that you have 385 points to play with its usually up to a maximum of 50 points extra though
