    Around late august my partner was renting in a basement flat and after asking again and again was never given a key to the main door to check his mail which resulted in his dole being cut to 144 after missing an appointment,after inquiring he was cut off before being re-evaluated. He has now moved home for personal reasons but is back on JSA after signing on again but at a rate of 144, why not 188 which he recieved through means testing before? Nothing has changed , can he appeal this or get it raised?

    what age is he?

    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.

    This is the only reason I can find for getting paid a reduced rate and being over 24 ( or what ever age related age it is now)
    Reduction in payment

    The Social Welfare Act 2010 provides that your payment can be reduced if you:
    Refuse an appropriate offer of training by an officer of the Department of Social Protection or FÁS
    Decline an intervention under the Employment Action Plan (EAP), do not attend EAP meetings with a FÁS officer under the EAP or drop out of the EAP process
    Community Employment Schemes are not considered to be FÁS training opportunities.
    If you are:
    Age 25 or over, your payment can be reduced to €144
    Age 22-24, your payment can be reduced to €111
    Age 18-22, your payment can be reduced to €75
