At university in Scotland.. grant/childrens allowance query!

    I'm 21 and have just completed my first year of a 4 year undergrad course in a uni in Scotland.

    I've done my best to look through welfare.ie and the VEC websites but I just can't figure out what I'm entitled to!!

    1. Because I am still supported (I also work part time in the UK) by my parents are they eligible to collect childrens allowance?

    2. The grant form asks me how much I earned in 2010. I was collecting job seekers benefit in January, worked from Feb-June and then collected job seekers again until September. Of course, I have no idea how much I earned/collected from these collectively and seeing as I don't live in Ireland anymore I'm not sure where to find out. Is there a document I can apply for like a statement of my earnings for 2010?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out!!

    Q1 - No - only until age 18
    Q2 - You will need letters from Dept of Social protection showing statements of what you earned and a P45 from your employer - You will also need a P21 from the revenue commissionders

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Even if I am in full time education and they still have to support me?

    Afraid so, it stops at age 18 regardless of whether they have to support you or not.
