You need enough tax credits for the full dole or else when you turn 25, you automatically get it. Ageism isn't it.

Dole has no connection whatsoever to tax credits. Not even the same government department.
The max "dole" you could get at your age is €144. Your not getting that because your parents income is being taken into consideration, so your only getting €101.

Mose people refer to both jsa and jsb as the dole.

Neither "dole" (JSA) or SB have any connection at all to tax credits.

Not true. I was told at the welfare office I did not have enough tax credits from the previous tax year to receive the full amount of JSB when I was on short time from work.

Same was said to my brother and aunt.

They don't make it easy
There are
Tax credits are the part of your income on which you are not liable for tax. In other words you can earn or receive a certain amount of income before you begin to pay tax.
Tax credits consist of various allowances and reliefs which you may be able to claim, depending on your circumstances. Every individual has their own personal tax credit and additional allowances on items such as private health insurance premiums and mortgage interest can be claimed. Details of all the main allowances and reliefs are given on the explanatory leaflet issued to you each year from the Revenue Commissioners with your certificate of tax credits.
This info rmation is also available from your tax office or online from the website of the Revenue Commissioners.http://www.jobsearch.ie/applicants/tax.htm
and
If you are in employment, the amount of social insurance you pay depends on your earnings and the type of work you do. Your social insurance contributions in Ireland are referred to as PRSI (Pay Related Social Insurance). Sometimes, you will hear people describe their PRSI contributions as stamps. This term dated from before 1979 when employers would literally stamp a card each week of employment. That card was then brought to a Social Welfare Local Office in order to claim social welfare payments.

and then the other kind of credits
1. Credited contributions (credits) are social insurance contributions which are awarded to an insured person without a Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) payment being received from the insured person.
Credits are awarded in circumstances such as unemployment and illness, and their purpose is to help protect the social insurance entitlements of insured persons during periods when they may not be in a position to pay contributions.
In order to qualify for credits, a person must first have entered insurable employment - he or she must have paid at least one PRSI contribution as an employed contributor.

you, your brother and your aunt were told in the SW office when you applied for JSB that you did not have enough PRSI contributions from the relevant tax year.
Here is a link to an article which, if you read it, might inform you about Tax Credits. You will see that they have no relationship with you, your brothers or your Aunts claim for JSB.
