I'm on JA and getting a reduced rate (€62 p/w) for the last year. This was fine as I'm living at home with both parents working. However my dad fell ill at christmas and he's going to be out for work for a minimum of 6 months, with the doctors saying it'll be more likely a full year.

Does anyone know how I go about applying for a higher rate? Is this at all possible?.

Thanks
