BTEA has been Changed

    I wrote here a month or so ago asking if anyone had heard of changes happening to BTEA. Well the operational guidelines were edited on welfare.ie on the 16th of May. The new guidelines now state that all part time work undertaken will be means tested as per the primary payment. Which I basically gather means that your BTEA rate will be reduced in the same way JSA is reduced for casual dockets.

    I did however come across this;
    (Cannot post URL's, but google 'BTEA scheme changes' and it should be the 3rd result, a pdf)

    Which seems to be the notice circulated among welfare staff, from what I gather of this, the new guidelines to means test part time work will only be for people starting BTEA this September and will not apply to those who are already enrolled on the scheme.

    Any thoughts?

    I'm not sure about that aspect, but I can definitely say that their "No studying abroad" rule came in at such a fantastic time...the year I'm going to Scotland for Uni :(
