Job Seekers Benefit & Back to Education Allowance

    Can anyone help.

    My partner has been on Job Seekers benefit since the end of March last year. From what I can gather he will get this for 15 months which brings him up the end of June. At that shtage he would be going onto Job Seekers Allowance. He has been actively looking for work but can't find anything and is now thinking of going back to college in September under the Back to Education Scheme.

    However I've just been looking up information on the JSA means test and because I earn €31k per annum it looks like he won't be eligible for anything on JSA.

    So, my question is when would he be applying for the Back to Education Allowance and if his JSB ran out at the end of June and he was not eligible for anything under JSA would he then not be able to get BTEA?

    If anyone can help with this Id be really grateful
