    Hi, I went down to collect my dole today from the post office, and for some reason I got 173 instead of 144 which I usually get. Could the rate have gone up without them informing me? Or is this a mistake or something I should inform them about?

    Could be fuel allowance. Not sure when it kicks in but it could be about now

    Did the dole docket have any extra allowance listed on it?

    If it went up due to him becoming 25 would it not increase to €188?

    Monday week the 8th - its €20 though

    If you supposed to be doing a course or your PPS number has been mixed up with someone else, it might account for €20 training + Meal and Travel allowance of approx €10

    depends what day of the week he turns 25 - if it was 4 days in he would get an extra 4 days and then the following week he would get the full 188

    As said if it was fuel allowance it would be on his docket. That shouldn't start until 8th of October tho.

    I indeed turned 25 friday before last. Your allowance goes up when you hit 25? I didn't know that. Thanks for the info guys.

    Might explain why it as a different figure if it covered days taht you weren't yet 25, but would think it would be 188 for whatever full weeks after that.
