Jobseekers Allowance (Turning 25)

WarZoneBrother

Hey,

Just wondering currently I am on €51 a week on jobseekers, but next Monday I turn 25 does this increase from €51 to €144 or do I still get deducted €49 for living at home?

Also will it increase next tuesday (the day after I turn 25) or will it be the following tuesday? I am moving down the country shortly to look for jobs around the Galway area is it easy to transfer from a location to a different location? Or will I get cut off for a few weeks, or be waiting?...

Thanks.
John

Thanks, so the payment for each week isn't for the previous week?...
