Re: Rent Allowance Mature Student

I started college last week and i would like to apply for rent allowance. I am in receipt back to education allowance for the duration fo the course. I am unsure about rent all as I own a share of the family home which I will be coming back to at the weekends as I am my sisters legal guardian and she is 18. Mother and Step Father passed away a few years ago. I am a mature student(31). Am I still entitled or is there any point in trying.

Stephen,
If you're on a social welfare payment, you may be entitled to Rent Supplement. Contact your Community Welfare Officer for information and application forms - you should apply in the area where you hope to move to.

There's more information on Rent Supplement here
