No recent application for Back to Education Allowance (BTEA) has been received from this gentleman.

On 25 February 2019 an application for BTEA issued to the person concerned for completion along with detailed information regarding his options for commencing a further education course.

On receipt of the completed application form along with confirmation of attendance at a course, a decision will be made on his entitlement to BTEA.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
