Is it true the social welfare have gotten on top of all the JSA/JSB claims and claims are being processed in under two weeks now?

hey, not from my experience - i was claiming in gorey and it took them 8 weeks to process!! When i went in to find out what was happening they told me they were missing some information from my former employer but didnt bother contacting me about it, so that was why it was delayed. From talking to a few others in the office they were waiting about six weeks!

I'm waiting nearly 7 weeks now for JSB from a central Dublin Office. In fairness, anytime I've been up to the centre they've been crazy busy, still will be taking a trip up during the oncoming week for an update though.

Definitely not true, unfortunately

Check out the sticky up the top, where people are posting the amount of time they've been waiting. Seems in some places JSB can come through pretty quickly, under 2 weeks, but those of us waiting for JSA still seem to be waiting an eternity

Dun Laoghaire told me they would be in touch in the next 2 to 3 months.
