    Im in my final year of three year course and have been receiving BTEA along, I recently started a PT job which has irregular hours. The SW office has asked me to send in payslips for hours I do and have deducted my payment based on earnings.

    However someone told me that I should be able to work without it affecting my payment.. (I only get BTEA no other payment)

    I just took this paragraph from the Citizens Information page:


    If you qualify for BTEA because you are an adult dependant, your allowance is equivalent to the Increase for a Qualified Adult paid with the social welfare payment your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant is getting. Your spouse or partner keeps his or her entitlement to his or her personal rate of payment. If the circumstances of a couple change, then the total amount paid may be revised. However BTEA participants may do part-time work without affecting their rate of payment.
