    I am finding it hard to understand how to calculate.

    Partner A is applying for JSA
    Partner B earns €230 per week (working 5 days pt)
    They have 3 dependants

    They get €134 pw FIS based on Partner A JSB which has now been cut off.

    How much JSA is Partner A entitled to?

    Thank you. They had no-one available but directed me to Citizens advice who were able to calculate.
    The means came through today but are wrong so now back to sw again.

    They took income from a previous employment (in first 6 months of the year) and lumped it with second half income and only divided by 26 as 26 weeks is the amount of weeks employed by new employer :confused:
