    Moving to dublin in about a week on the dole (job seekers allowance) here in Galway, need to swap it to Dublin.

    How do i go about this, will it be instantaneous or will i be cut off from payments for a period of time while its transferred over. Im moving to dublin 7.

    would appreciate any incite i can get from people who have done this before

    I don't know what that ^^ is about?? Victor, what do you mean?

    Anyway,

    O/P once you move, go into your local office in Dublin 7. Tell them you want to transfer your claim from Galway and they'll give you some forms to fill out. If there's no change in your circumstance (other than change of address) then there's no reason for any delay in payment greater than a few days.

    Some advice, go in and transfer as soon as possible after collecting payment in Galway or you run the risk of your next weeks pay also going to Galway post office after you moved to Dublin. What I mean by that is, if you collect on Tuesday, collect in Galway then go to Dublin and transfer. Don't wait till Friday to call in to Dublin office or your payment will be already processed for Galway. Does that make any sense?
