    Hi,
    My nationality is Latvian but I'm living in Ireland since 2006. I'm unemployed since September 2011, my partner is claiming for me social welfare payment since, but we are separating now. So i would really appreciate your help to answer few questions what i have. Before i lost job my work hours was cut so i was claiming Jobs Seekers Benefit for days i was not working. That's why i don't have any points left to receive Jobs Seekers Benefit. Can i claim Jobs Seekers Allowance? And how long it would take to go true? I had problems before passing means test because of Habitual Resident Condition that's why I'm really worried that i wont be able to receive Jobs Seekers Allowance and i will end up with no income and wont be able to pay my rent.
    Tanx.

    Yes you can claim JSA.Waiting times depend of where you sign on.If you have no money while waiting for a JSA claim to be sorted, contact you local CWO for help.

    And how do i do it? Will Social Welfare take me off as my ex partners adult dependent automatically when i will start my own claim or he has to do that?
