Hello, I've just qualified for Jobseeker's Allowance and have been given a weekly rate of €12.
Means from self employment was €88 per week (€100-€88=€12) when I applied.
Since I applied for JSA 10 weeks ago, I have earned €178 total from my business.

as this rate assumes I've been earning €88 a week since I've applied for JSA.

What should I do, ask for my means to be reviewed?
Also, my first payment will be in the post office tomorrow, do I collect this despite disagreeing with the weekly rate?

Thanks in advance,
Nir
