    If you have very little in the way of assets, you may qualify for a Supplementary Allowance. Sorry, I don't know any more details, just that there is a possibility, an it's not JA/JB (since you're not available for work).

    Maybe call Citizens Information and see what they say.

    Depends on your race,colour and country of origan. If you can get the right combination of these you can hit the jackpot here. free house, free money , free medical card,free car , cheap car insurance, free coal, free hairdoos etc etc. terms and conditions apply though. ask at your local HSE office.
