How much am i entitled to by means test...?

nellocon · 2009-06-18 17:34:43

Hi, I am about to sign on for the dole. However i am wondering how much i am going to get. My circumstances are, i am living at home with parents. My dad is unemployed and drawing and my mother just does a few hours a week as a home help... Would these factors make me get less than the usual JA (204 euro)? Thanks

You're likely to get the full amount that you are entitled to for your age - if you're under 20 that's 100 euro, if you're 20 or over that's 204.30.

Here's the info you need
