turas nua

Hi all..

Really hope someone responds..in a bit of panic...my story is I work part time..3 days a week about 10 hrs a week..I'm with turas nua about a month. She was lovely at first but getting a bit stricter. I explained my situation about I'm working part time and giving her proof that I am trying to turn the 10 hrs into longer as well as applying for jobs abroad to get off SW.

All she keeps saying is I need to find another part time job to make up 30 or quit job I have and find another full time job. It's hard to find another part time job that fits into the free time I have from other job. I'm from a small Irish town with no transport. The part time job I have is one that can potentially lead to more hours but any effort I am making to make this happen is falling on deaf ears.

I'm afraid if I don't apply for full time jobs or find suitable part time jobs or apply for 20 jobs in a small town where there is none...they will cut my money. I tried talking to it and saying its very pressuring all was indicated over and over was we need to get you to 30 hours so we can sign you off SW.

IS ANYONE ELSE IN MY SITUATION...WORKING PART TIME AND CASUAL SW AND DEALING WITH TURAS NUA

This is the wrong fourm... my advice meet with someone in your local intreo / social welfare office and explain to them your situation. I assume that turas nua are employed by Dsp to show you are participating in a work activation programme.

She can only recommend a cut in your payment the decision lies with your local dsp official/office.

A friend recently told me she was to start again with Turas Nua they sent her an appointment . The day before cancelled this and further cancelled 2 more appointments .
I never had this experience when I was there . I wonder if after a year they dont find you a job what happens .
