Hi all!
I have a very complicated situation. I am an irish national by decent. I was born in a non ea country. I was able to claim my irish citizenship 2012. December 2012 when me and my wife went to ireland. I worked for my father but only got part time work. was working 20 hours a week. sometimes even 10. but I was living with him. Then he decided to just let us live on top of the shop he owns. After a year, I was able to claim job seekers allowance. a few month after claiming JSA my wife and i found a place to rent since the living situation on top of the shop was not really good (small room, very old building, 1 johns to share with employees).April of this year when I was let go from my job since the shop isnt doing that great and i was the last one in so im the first one out(to quote my father). ever since then I have been on jobseekers allowance without any deductions. My wife and I try to find work but were unlucky. I am now enrolled to take up a course for 1 year. (so I am switching from JSA to BTEA). Heres the tricky part. My wife and I need to go back to the country we originated from for 1 year next year. We plan to come back here and hopefully have someone with us (baby). Will I be able to go back on JSA right away? Will me going back to a non european country affect my habitual residence? Since its very hard to get work where I live now, Im not expecting to get a job right away when we come back but i will try. Also I am not sure my father will let me live with him again since his situation has changed for the worst. Thanks in advance for any advice given.
