Jobseeker's Allowance Enquiry

    I recently had my jobseekers' allowance increased from €42 to €100 as of yesterday (5th of July). I also received a letter from the local Intreo Office yesterday stating that my weekly means (ie. the reduction from the standard €100 euro weekly allowance) had gone from €58 to €0 from the 8th of June.

    Is there extra money I'm entitled to from the 8th of June? I haven't received what would be €232 from 8th of June (ie. €58 for four weeks). If so, how do I reclaim it?

    I've been trying to get on the local Intreo office myself, but the phones aren't answering.

    The money owed will show up in a couple of weeks.

    Out of curiosity how did it get increased?

    I only started getting my payment now and was expecting €100 a week, however they are only giving me €51 a week now... Did you appeal it or something?... I am just fresh out of college and currently living at home... If I ever got an interview for a job that would cost me around that to go up and down on a bus for the day...

    Or is it possible to get Free Travel with this reduction?... My girlfriend lives in Donegal and I live in Monaghan so now it seems I can't even afford to make a trip up to her...

    I was let go from a part-time job and got my jobseeker's allowance re-assessed.
