Back To Ed Allowance

[matureStudnt]

I have been offered a college place starting in Sep. I am currently on Jobseekers Benefit. In order to qualify for BTEA I need to be on jobseekers for 9 mths, i am approx 3 weeks short of this. Any tips on what i could try to do to get it? any loopholes?? I cant afford to go to college without it and I cant get work!

Persons who are awarded statutory redundancy and who are eligible for Jobseeker's Benefit are exempt from the waiting time for BtoEA, does that apply to you?
