When does BTEA stop?

    Hey, does anyone know when BTEA stops? I have a bit of a problem.

    A letter was sent out a couple of months ago to anyone on BTEA, for the college to sign basically saying you're still attending. I never got it because I hadn't told the welfare office I had moved. My fault, I know. So when I didn't get my payment one day a couple of weeks ago, I found out why, and had to go to the welfare office and get the letter. The person I was dealing with was a complete d**k, didn't even sit down and talk to me, just stood behind his chair and was really rude overall. So when he asked why I didn't get my letter, I told him I had moved. He scolded me, fair enough, and I gave him my address.

    But here's my problem : there's another building with the same address as mine, except it has "west" added on to the end. Also, my apartment isn't official or something, because it never comes up on any official address lists (like for UPC). I haven't been able to receive a couple of things that have been sent to me in the past, other than upc and electricity bills. My roommates and I went to the place that has the same address as us and asked them to contact us if anything for us arrived. The post office were useless, the post man for our area gets changed so often we can't talk to him, and we asked our landlord to put a number on the front door but he said there was no point (I'm not sure of his reasons for this). So, I don't have post delivered here anymore.

    So, when I gave the rude guy in the welfare office my address, of course the OTHER building came up. I didn't realise until I'd left that he had the wrong one. When I went back later that day with the signed letter, I told him I had given him the wrong address, because there was another place with the same address as mine etc. He gave me a really dirty look and changed it.

    So, he has the right address, but I'm still really afraid I'll miss the letter for signing back on to JSA. I tried explaining to him that post has always gotten lost on it's way to me, but he didn't care. I know there's nothing he can do, but I don't think there's anything I can do either - is there? I don't think going in to the welfare office will be much help, unless they can maybe text / call me when BTEA payments are over, and the JSA letters are ready? I really don't know :S

    Any help / ideas / advice would be great, thank you!
