    If you are living at home with both parents and working part time are you entitled to something... Just finished college too?

    Would you not look for a full-time job seen as your finished college?

    There's a few factors taken into account. Means testing and how many days a week you are working for example.

    You should be able to find out what you need to know here:

    You have to show a loss of days at work if you wish to claim part time benefits.

    If you are under 25 and living at home your parents income will be taken into account.
    You can work a max of 20 hours and 3 days I think, would double check those numbers. If you work 1 hour a day for 5 days you get nothing while if you work 5 hours for 3 days you might get something.

    If you go into the social welfare office or citizens information they can tell you if it is worth applying.
