Work Placement Programme some questions

rafaelbelmondo

Hello I am half year Work Placement Programme now and still me 3 months to finish. I am over 22 years and I get in Social Welfare only 144 euros this is little money for me. And I have question here,
I pay bills for internet and rubbish this is nearly 90 euros per months, and I wanted to ask is possible to get any extra money from Social Welfare? or from another institution? or back money for my bills???

No don't think that is possible. Sometimes the social welfare depending which one you get is means tested but the dole goes according to your age group. Don't think the social welfare can up your welfare amount. I say unless you are entitled to more than one type of social welfare would you get any more money from the social welfare. Such as rent allowance, job seekers allowance and the dole but there are restrictions how many and how much you can get between them now I am not sure whether you are only entitled to one of them or some of them and I am not sure if you could get all of them or some of them or just get the dole alone maybe you can get the dole and the other type of social welfare payments/benefits. You will have to go to your social welfare office to see if you are entitled to any other social welfare other than the one you are getting.

I got rent allowance when doing a FAS work placement. You may as well ask anyway!
