Temporary absence from course

Training Incentive Allowance can be paid as an ongoing payment for the necessary and reasonable costs when attending a course eg childcare, transport or disability related costs. Reasons for not attending a course could include:

• bereavement
• childcare responsibilities
• hospitalisation or
• illness

Training Incentive Allowance can continue during these periods up to 4 weeks, as long as the main benefit is still being paid, and the client intends to continue with the course.
