FAS CE Schemes

goingmad

Hi all i am new to this and hope someone can help me
I was self employed for 8 years i am now unemployed and signing
for credits, am not getting any payment means tested and wife is
working.

I am signing on for a year now and may get a payment due to a change
in my circumstances.

I recently applied for one of those CE schemes and was told that I had
to be unemployed for 12 months and in receipt of a social welfare payment so I was not "Eligible"

I called FAS again today and told them that I would be getting Job seekers and would I be elgible then, they said no that I would have to be
getting a payment for 12 months.

I applied for these as I am going mad with nothing to do and have good
skills to offer, any advice would be helpful
