    Talk to SUSI asap re postponing your grant although you might not get it until you go into the next year of your course.

    You might get the BTEA for your repeat but only if you are repeating the year as a full-time student.

    Taken from DSP website:
    1.14.7 Repeat years:

    BTEA participants who have to repeat a year of their course will continue to be paid the allowance for the repeat year. This is provided that the BTEA participant is registered and attending as a FULL-TIME student for the repeat year. Repeat students who register as external students, exam only students or part-time students for their repeat year are not eligible for the allowance. A person will only be allowed to repeat one academic year of their current course of study on the basis of exam failure and/or exceptional circumstances,evidence of such to be provided. eg due to illness, pregnancy, force majeure reasons.
