    Hi All
    I have received a letter telling me that my current Job seekers benifit will run out,I have to fill in a Jobseekers allowence means test form,
    Any one here know what my current allowence of €188 will be cut too.
    My wife works and earns more then €500 weekly,we have no children and we have about €8500 in savings.We do have a mortgage.Would appreciate any help from anyone who has been through similar situation or knows how this works

    Thanks in advance

    Going by what happened with my parents, you'll be lucky to get it. My mother earns upwards of 400 a week and my father got means tested off her. He only gets 123 a week, and that's without them having any savings, land etc.
