    I am currently receiving JSB of €196/week.

    I got a letter a month ago for a means test, filled it out and returned it and have heard nothing since.

    I am under 25 and I do not live at home.

    My question is what is the max amount I am entitled to when I get switched to JSA?

    Maximum rate you could get is the
    Personal rate of €188 from January 2011

    The reduced age related personal and qualified adult rates of Jobseeker’s Allowance for claimants under 25 years of age do not apply in the following cases:

    * Claimants with dependent children
    * People transferring to Jobseeker’s Allowance immediately after finishing their entitlement to Jobseeker’s Benefit
    * People transferring from Disability Allowance to Jobseeker’s Allowance
    * Where an existing Jobseeker’s Allowance claimant is assessed at the higher rate of allowance gets work but loses that job and is back on Jobseeker’s Allowance within 12 months
    * People under 25 participating in a course of education, training or Community Employment. However, when the course ends you will return to an age related JA payment, if you were getting one before you started the course...

    You should follow up with the SW about the means testing etc.,
