    Hi all,

    Just a quick query before I start ringing the social welfare office tomorrow afternoon.

    I'm finishing my second year of a HnDiploma course in a Further Education College, and have been receiving my BTEA throughout. I now am (hopefully) being offered advanced entry into a Degree course in the same field, where the degree comes from Griffith College, via Pulse College.

    My question is, apart from paying the fee for the year myself, which I understand I will have to as its a private college i'll be going to, can I still claim my weekly BTEA??

    I'll be in some serious debt after paying the fees, with no time for working during the year as I'll be doing at least 45 hours a week in the course. Is it possible to keep the BTEA weekly payments up? Anyone been in this situation before?

    Thanks,
    P

    According to these parts of Pulse College and Griffith website you can claim btea.

    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.
