Working while receiving BTEA?

DirtyLeeds · 2011-10-20 07:10:24

Hi all This week I started a part time bar job in a live music venue, so coming up to the Xmas period I will be working possibly 3 or 4 nights per week. I am just wondering if this will affect my BTEA payment in any way as I heard as regards BTEA you're allowed work. I have been in receipt of the payment since September…

Hi all

This week I started a part time bar job in a live music venue, so coming up to the Xmas period I will be working possibly 3 or 4 nights per week.

I am just wondering if this will affect my BTEA payment in any way as I heard as regards BTEA you're allowed work.

I have been in receipt of the payment since September 2010.

Cheers

"Income from part-time work does not affect the basic BTEA payment."

See this link here http://www.studentfinance.ie/mp7237/back-to-education-allowance/index.html. From what i understand you can work as much as you like.
