    hey if anyone can help me it would be great! i was thinking of maby going to LYIT this year, im currently unemployed and getting single parent payment so here goes...

    will i still get this payment or do i get some kind of back to education payment??

    do i apply for a grant?

    will i loose other payments i am getting (rent allowance etc),

    is there child care available or is there a payment i can get for childcare?

    anyone else going through the same thing?, do you think its worth it or am i wasteing my time?

    thank you!

    Check with your local social welfare office, you might be entitled to back to education allowance. This works out at 188 a week for standard applicants. However since your a single parent you might get a different amount.

    Btea applicants are also eligible to apply for rent allowance.

    By getting btea you also can claim job seekers allowance during the summer months.
