    Hi I was just wondering if the btea is payed fully during the academic year, september to may, or is it only during the weeks you actually have clases and not midterms and christmass breaks.

    Any help would be great.

    C'mere t'me ye, I've a question...

    Will the allowance be affected by the impending dole cuts? Or Do you just get what you were getting before you started for the entirety of your course?

    Or, you know when you have to go on the dole in the summer, will they put you back on your original rate or keep you on the budget adjusted rate?

    Thanks

    Should there be budget cuts, BTEA will also be cut by the same amount as Jobseekers. In the months from May-June to Sept, those in receipt of BTEA will have to sign back on, and will receive whatever the new rate will be. If you where on JB prior to BTEA the summer months will use up more of whatever stamps you have left.
