Jobseekers Benefit after University

    I am currently in university in my final year (just exams to go!). I am thinking of emigrating for work in the winter time but I will be looking for work here first. If I get work here I will not be emigrating.

    I received a full grant for university this year, and my father is on social welfare.

    The grant will not be able to sustain me beyond June, so would I be able to apply for Jobseekers Benefit / Allowance while I am l looking for work in the Summer?

    I know it says there should be a three month period after university but seeing as my father and brother are on welfare - would they make an exception?

    Many thanks,

    As far as I know, the three month wait is only after secondary school, not university.

    (good luck with the exams!)

    Once you finish exams you can sign on

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
