Hi there.
Just a few thoughts on your issues...
Did you check out the legalities of your wife being let go?
I don't understand why the welfare officer is insisting on your wife applying for JA. As she is unavailable for work she wouldn't get it if she stated her unavailability on the app form.
You need money to live. If your wife went through the motions and applied for JA, pending a decision on that, you should be eligible for supplementary welfare allowance, it is currently €310.80 pw for a couple.
Get any reasons for refusal in writing. You can ask for review and/or appeal.
Now the 6 months have elapsed and we went to see the social welfare officer who was adamant that that was a special once off payment for 6 months and we would have to go on job seekers allowance.
