JavaBeans

hello people !

So im a mature student gone back to university and i'm on the back to education allowance, i have been renting my in new house near the college now for 6 months which i see is the minimum requirement before you can apply
I live with my girlfriend and our 3 yr old toddler, rent is 720 a month, which my gf pays and i spend my btea on the creche in UL 160 a week
so im just wondering would i qualify for a payment, i saw this screencap on the citzen info site, just wondering what does it mean, or what assistance i might receive, my gf works full time & earns about 450 a week i think
any info appreciated

thank you

If your gf works full time you won't be entitled to anything.

Its possible that your GF might be entitled to Family Income Supplement if she works more than 30 hours a week.
