    Been on Back to Education for 3 years and have been a Medical Card holder

    I have now started a new full time job and have given up Jobseekers

    Do I lose my card too?

    Thanks

    It depends - generally you can keep it for upto 3 years if you have been long term unemployed

    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.
