Hi.
I am in reciept of job seekers benefit for the last 12 months now.
It works out at €230 a week as I am married with 2 students still at home.
My wife has €140 a week on Illness benefit.
I have applied for a job locally which will involve working every day for 4 hrs a day. 20 hrs a week. I contacted the Local Labour office and they tell me that because I would be employed on a daily basis, I would loose my JB allowance. If I worked for 3 continuous days, I could claim for another 3 days !!
Is there any sence to this ??? I would still only be working the same hours in any one week.
Any thoughts please ?
