    ok bear with me please. i am going back to college in september and plan on claiming the BTEA. i have been on jobseekers allowance more than the required time so there is no problems there.

    now i have need of more money than the ja provides to see me through college, petrol alone is going to cripple me.

    i have a chance to apply for a part time job and my question is thus: presumably if i get myself a part time job i can go on casual dockets (x and o's) for my ja, claiming the days i don't work? and what i want to know is if it start this job, and therefore the casual system, prior to starting college and being awarded my BTEA will i still be entitled to it?

    If you are in receipt of BTEA you can work 24 hours per week without affect your social payment, you don't need to work only 3 days as on JB or JA and also you don't need produce your working days to social welfare...that is what I know about it...

    thats good to know, i am just wonderin what happens if i manage to score a part time job BEFORE i get transferred to the BTEA, like whilst still on regular JA payments.

    Well i finished college in May and i was not prepared to be bored silly until the end of september and its worked out for me. I work 4 days one of those is sunday. If you cant work sunday then you can only work 3 days.

    If you go over 3 days work they cut you off, so just be careful of that when applying for work.
