I’m just wondering what, if any, financial assistance I might be able to received from the social welfare? I’m 22 and don’t live with my parent’s either.

I’ve started a temp financial job about a month ago (it’s a four month contract) and up until this I was on the dole for about 6 months. Never had so much trouble getting a job in my life but luckily enough I’ve gotten one thank God. I just have a feeling that the social welfare won’t look too kindly on a guy who has only just signed off the dole and who now is planning to leave a job which he’s only been in a month.

Do I have any options?
