I'm wondering if it is possible to attend a full time course of education while in receipt of the Back to Work Enterprise Allowance.
I have a business idea and, hopefully some capital to get things off the ground, and will be applying for the BTWEA in the new year. I would also like to do a Masters degree next September. The business I hope to start is tourism based so the bulk of the degree would be in the low season and I feel I could juggle both). There is also the option of setting up in partnership with another person who would qualify for BTWEA, but this is dependent on a number of factors.
I guess what I need to is, would I lose the BTWEA entitlement if I did a course at the same time?
