    Ok, I know this could really backfire, but peoples advice might deter me from doing it, im desperate..

    I've been on JA for 24 months now, never rocked the boat, never been late signing on etc. And i have never received any correspondence from the social welfare office regarding FAS courses etc.

    I live in Galway and have been accepted for a Masters in Coleraine, paid my 600 euro deposit and since had my grant application bounced back at me as I dont qualify anymore (im 25 and graduated in 2008) cause of those eejits in Leinster House. Applying as a dependant on my parents (who i havent spoken to in years) is not an option as they earn too much.

    What I want to know is if i say nothing, keep signing on every month and (fraudulantly i know) claiming the dole, what are the chances of being caught? eg. do they have a process for checking students from the republic's names and dates of birth studying in the north with social welfare records in the south (eg me in galway)??

    I'm screwed and already in debt.. thanks in advance
