    If your weekly means is above the €188 does that mean you will get no payment?

    No

    It depends on a lot of things - could you explain in a bit more detail what upur query is and I will try to answer

    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.

    Living with an ex partner but they did take her income into account. That's basically where the means comes from

    Joint means are divided 50/50 between couples, so you would have means of €120 and would be entitled to payment of €68 p.w. but you should have been informed of what your getting if anything.
