    Anyone been in the position of moving from back to work enterprise scheme to jobseekers allowance?

    How easy/fast is it?

    What do you need to prove the business is closed down?

    Can you go to the community welfare officer right away and get €188 as a stop gap until transferred onto jsa.

    I have no savings of any kind.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

    I know it might not be the answer you're looking for, but you can always apply for a SWA with your local Health Center, and they will pay you until your claim with SW is awarded.

    You can apply for jsa.... you will have to be means tested and provide profit and loss accounts for 2010 and possibly 2011 . Are your registered with revenue as a sole trader? You may be asked to de-reg as a sole trader or get a letter from your accountant stating that you no longer have any income from self-employment.
    While you are waiting for jsa to be processed you can apply for supplementary welfare allowance from your community welfare officer.
