Back to Education Allowance and working?

    So I have been back and forth between the Citizens information center and my local Intreo center and I can't seem to get a straight answer from them. I am hoping someone here can help me. Basically I have been offered a job for the first two weeks of college on a help stand. I will only be working 20 hours a week at 10 EUR and hour.

    I have been on back to education since 2015 and I am allowed to work 20 hours but the social welfare says this will be means tested once I bring in my payslip. Even though I have provided them with the exact hours I am working and the rate of pay they refuse to calculate my means test. So I have no way of knowing if this job is worth my while taking as I have no idea how much money I will lose.

    If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
