As part of my 4 year degree, the second semester of my 3rd year I have to work as an intern in a relevant job.

I have secured one and I start in late January for 6 months. I was wondering if I was eligible to claim anything at all since I'm actually still in college and it's a full time degree.

I'm a mature student and living with my parents.

The job pays €70 a week and is Monday to Friday 9-6. I'm currently working a part time job but I don't think they will let me stay on with reduced hours, I'm going in to speak to my manager about it tomorrow.

Thanks!
