    Hello,
    I applied for the job seekers allowance last week. From what I have heard I am not expecting to receive payment anytime soon. I would imagine that it will be August or September before I will hear anything about it. I am 21 years old, but I will turn 22 in the middle of July. The rate for 22-24 year olds is 44 euros more than it is for my current age. Presuming that I am eligible for payment, will this change be applied automatically as soon as I turn 22 or will I have to apply for it to be changed?

    Given how backwards this country is i'd bet you'd probably have to re-apply but i'd be only guessing i'm afraid:rolleyes:
