Hello,
In 2014 my husband worked self employed in the UK for several weeks before finding work at home in Ireland. This self employed work finished after 4 months. He applied for and was granted JSA with means based on his Irish earnings but not the UK's. He paid tax and National Insurance in UK and Irish PRSI of euro 500 for 2014. Also pays Irish USC on UK earnings under the double taxation agreement with the UK.
Is there any way he can have the means reduced based on his PRSI contribution? Why, as both countries have these agreements can't his Irish earnings be treated as his UK and not be means tested?
Your thoughts please
Thank you
