    I am 21 and getting 100 a week from jba, if i was to move from my home due to unlivable circumstances to a shared accommodation with rent of 40euro a week would my claim be reflected in this change as i am no longer dependent on parents?

    No, you are already getting the max payment for your age.
    It will go to €144 when you reach 22.

    It will depend. Is the 100 euro a week that you get now a result of a reduction because of your parent's income, or simply because you are 21? Some 21 year olds will still get the maximum rate, if they qualify for the old rates. The old rate still apply in the following circumstances:
    Exceptions to age related Jobseeker's Allowance payments for people under 25

    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 were at least 20 years of age on 30 December 2009 and became unemployed on or before 30 December 2009
    * You were 18 or 19 on 30 December 2009 and you became unemployed on or before 29 April 2009
    * You are 22 to 24 and taking part in the Work Placement Programme run by FÁS

    If any of these apply, you should get the full rate. If not, then its 100 Euro until you turn 22.
