need advice

darego

i'm currently renting a room in a house and receiving 144 euro a week from SWA until i get my JSA

question 1: will i still get 144 from JSA if/when it gets accepted (pretty sure they shouldn't be taking my mams earning into account as i don't live with her although she has been receiving alone pairents allowance i think not sure if it has been stopped)

question 2: if i decide to move back in with her as i can't afford rent + bills at this current address anymore will her earnings be taking into account then? she has been getting alone parents allowance years now but i think it got stopped when i left college there before christmas so it shouldn't metter either way as he earnings have not gone up since. also should i notify then when they accept my JSA or straight away if i move back into my mothers

i'm 21 by the way in case age is taking into account


cheers guys

I wouldn't worry darego, you're our future, you're what we're relying on to pay our pensions in the future, a lot of people would worry that you will never contribute a penny to society in your life, and the way you describe your mother's welfare payments as 'earnings' would tend to confirm that, but not me.

So I say, good luck to you, and in the future, if anyone happens to introduce you to your father, remind him that if you ever crash on the floor of his council house, he can claim for that as well.

I dont know what the combined income rate cut off is but as far as i know if you are under 25 and you are living at home your parents income will be taken into account, http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/irish_social_welfare_system/means_test_for_social_welfare_payments/means_test_for_jobseekers_allowance.html........this link here under means test gives a little more info on the test, http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/social_welfare_payments/unemployed_people/jobseekers_allowance.html.

Not certain but i reckon if you are living independent you may be eligable to the full rate (188). And above post reported for possibly having an IQ considerably less then the average uneducated chimp.

thanks for the advice! very well written i must say i should have included that i was made defer my 3rd year in college until this coming september instead of playing catch-up all year and then ultimately, failing the exams (because of an illness i missed a lot of college at the start of the year)

i'm in this situation until i go back to college in september and i am being forced to seek JSA as jobs are few and far between and "my level of education is far past any level 5 mickey mouse fas course" as my CWO put it. i won't talk about my father here but cheers for the well wishes

i also should have included that my mother's earnings would consist of money she gets from her job that she has paid tax from for the last 15 years and not the money the welfare obviously know about which she was using to put me through school and college etc

now if anyone would like to answer my 2 questions in my OP instead of trying to be a condescending jackass i would be thankful!
