View answerIn common with most participants on SOLAS courses, the training allowance payable to the person in question is equivalent to his social welfare entitlement. Course participants must bring a document signed by a DSP officer with them when they commence a course. This document shows the training allowance to which the individual is entitled. The person in question is also in receipt of a travel allowance.
