BTEA and part-time work

    I started a full-time degree this September and am getting Back to Education Allowance. Still have a mortgage and other bills to pay though and this is not enough. Please can anyone tell me what hours can I work without it affecting my BTEA? Or what's the most I can earn before being affected?

    BTEA is not means tested so you can work as many hours as you wish so long as you keep your attendance up in college.

    Secondary benefits such as rent allowance however are means tested and will change when you earn more money.
