    Hi, I've looked around for an answer for this but no luck so far. Basically I've been receiving Jobseekers Benefit since April. I've just been accepted by NUI Galway for a Masters (Taught) starting this September. I'm currently applying for a grant to cover the fees and some maintenance. Obviously I will not be seeking work once (if) I start the course as it's fairly full on but can I continue receiving Jobseekers Benefit up until I start? I'm still seeking work but most employers will not hire someone who's finishing up september. Can I still claim? Do I need to inform my Social Welfare Office? Thanks...

    Yes.
    You need to inform your SWO when you are no longer available for work.
