    Can anyone tell me what is the rate deducted from part time wages while on back to education allowance for the coming academic year? I can't find any figures online. Thanks

    BTEA and part-time work

    From the 2016/2017 academic year, people getting BTEA who take up work during the academic year will have means from work assessed under the rules that apply to their primary payment (the payment they qualified for BTEA from).
    Previously part-time work during the academic year did not affect the rate of BTEA paid.
    If you were getting a jobseeker’s payment before going back to education your BTEA is not paid over the summer months period between academic years. (It will be paid from the start of the new academic year provided you continue to satisfy the eligibility criteria.)
