I was classed as my partners dependant... I have been on B.T.E.A and I will be going into my second year of degree in Sept. I have been getting the increased allowance, will this stop because of the changes making me nearly 50 euro a week worse off next year, or is this change only for new applicants.. if it is the case it is highly unlikely I can afford to continue with my studies, so any info on this would be appreciated. Thanks

I believe the rate-changes will only impact new applicants (based my understanding of the CA article), but the Cost of Education cessation's across the board.

To be honest the DSP still haven't sorted out the changes themselves regarding BTEA for QAD. I spoke to the head office in Carrick on Shannon about this a couple of weeks ago and they had no updates on it.
