    If you work more than 3 days per week you wont receive jobseekers benefit. Jobseekers benefit isnt means tested.

    Yes once its jobseekers benefit. If they are on jobseekers allowance then any means from employment will be assessed against their claim.

    Is that medical condition influencing their ability to work full-time. If it is, you could have a look at Disability Allowance or if there is a prsi entitlement , Illness Benefit. More info here http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/da.aspx and http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/345_Illness-Benefit.aspx
