    Hey guys just looking for some advice on my situation regarding whether i can claim any momey from the dole?

    I'm 22 and currently working for Tesco, but recently i've been cut back to 20 hours a week (7 on a sunday, 5 on thurs and 8 on saturdays) and it was suggested to me that i should claim the dole to make up the recent money i've lost. I've only been working full time since last June as i was in college(which i graduated from but haven't been able to sucure a job in accounting since).

    Does anyone have any advice as to what i am entitled to in regards to claiming any money from the dole or is it not possible?

    yes you can. you can get part of it. you get forms to fill in off of your local welfare office. then you sign on for days you don't work. You can only work 3 days in 7. doesn't matter how many hours. Go to your welfare office and get the forms as your employer will have to fill some out

    Most of this info is correct but the amount of hours you can work over 3 days is capped.
