hi, I'm a public sector worker who has the option to take early retirement at age sixty with a lump sum and reduced pension of roughly 160 euros a week, my question is would I be able to claim job seekers allowance along with my pension or would it disqualify me
To get Jobseeker's Allowance you must satisfy a means test. A means test examines all your sources of income. However, some income is not included when calculating your means.
