    I have been on a fas course for last 18 months doing fetac level 3. I have now applied to return to uni as a mature student. I am hoping to do the access year at Limerick. However I am not so sure about the btea allowance. I only have around 6 weeks stamps left , so if I go back on payments these will run out in July. I will then not be receiving a payment when I apply for btea.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.:confused:

    Will you be eligible for Jobseekers Allowance do you think?

    The only thing I can think of would be if you were eligible for an Illness payment or something like a CE scheme to bring you up to September. Are there any other FAS courses you could take during the Summer to keep you going?
