    Hi everyone.

    My partner jntends to return to college in September to finish her Level 8 honours degree in Social Care. She finished her Level 7 ordinary degree in Social Care in 2014.

    She qualifies for the Back to Education Allowance but we are confused as to what rate she would be entitled too. We have 2 children aged 9 & 2. Is she entitled to an increase for a qualified adult and children?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    DSP should be able to answer your question.

    She would only be entitled to a qualifying adult if you are already a qualifying adult on her current social welfare payment.

    AFAIK, the current payment that she receives, remains the same.
