    Hi all,

    I was just wondering about Studying Abroad (outside Europe)
    I am currently on a long term social welfare payment.
    I was offered scholarships in the US on an F1 visa which means I'm not allowed work there for a year at least.
    I cannot take the scholarship it seems because I called citizens information, the woman there said I am entitled to BTEA, had a read myself and I am not so, I called the relevant department in social protection and she said that I'm not entitled to my long term payment while abroad (obviously) nor am I entitled to BTEA however, there is some sort of funding there to avail of and to call to the local offices to find out. I went to the local offices and they are saying I'm not entitled to anything.
    I feel like I'm running in circles.
