BTEA

Does being on a BTEA payment turn up on a statement from the social welfare?

Last year I had to get a statement stating how long I had been unemployed and was wondering would the length of my BTEA be included in that in the future?

It's just I'v been already asked to retrieve another statement from them and it looks bad to have x amount of years on the form even though I was in college..

Yes it does....its still a jobseekers payment but with a BTEA sub category.

I should have my qualifications so might not look so bad..

Don't think of it like that. It's training. At least you are doing something rather than sitting pretty. I'm sure well at least I hope that it would be viewed favourably that you are going out and doing something making efforts to increase your job prospects.

They sent me a letter this morning asking wether I want to apply for job seekers or continue with BTEA but I'm still not sure what course I wanna do for next year:(.
