National learning center false advertising

Paddy what is the delay with getting your rent allowance? As far as I know while you are waiting for this to be sorted the social welfare officer should be able to pay it to you in the meantime, have you asked your social worker?

What is the National Learning Centre? Is it FAS/Anco?

50euros is what i have now to spend.
I have got my social worker , doctor and another person who is friends with the top man to fight my case, i have received 50euros food vouchers each week for the last two weeks but they said they will finish up in 2 to 3 weeks until my rent allowance come through probably a mere 27euro or none at all as i'm over the threshold of 250, my rent is 375euro. To be honest i feel like ending it all which i tried twice in the past 3 monts by slashing my wrists. My Rent goes up to 850euros in January.
that leaves me with 425euros out of pocket. I could survive on 55euros on grocers and outings and prezzies for my nieces at that.
That been said I apologies for the down syndrome lady. I thought we were in the same bracket.
My sincere thank you for your advice.

Good for you that you can identify a support network and are getting them to advocate for you. Keep them in the loop with everything you do. Without knowing any of them though - none of them specialise in social welfare even though they would all have a better awareness of it than me, I think talking to someone in social welfare yourself would be a good idea - they would have the best information about what is available, what restrictions may apply, what options are open.

It sounds like you have definitely been having a rough time so take care of yourself. Talk, even if people disagree then at least that means they have listened. Time and attention are some of the most valuable presents, a toy gets played with now, a memory gets replayed for much longer.

i bought a house back in 1997 for 1000,00euro, when houses were cheap, I married a woman in 2006 who wanted all the grenadiers an life, So we paid 288euro for it in 2008 when times were bad(Smart move0.I began to notice my mood was beginning to drop, .

The Travellers took my ride on lawn mower,chain saw, pruner basic everything the could get their hands on.
I was a broken man, i had so much and lost it all.
I ended up up in the missionaries of Charity and spend 9 months where I Was aloud save my money to get another treatment which was fab.
I now owe 4,000 euro to the bank, 1,000 to credit union and 255,00euro plus arrears to bank of 51,000 in arears to the bank because.They were throwing it at me left right a center, I had 3 Brand new cars and even even a stable with no horses The house is in neguity to the tune of 175,00 in neqity eqity
now you know why i tried to kill myself 3 different occasions My wife refuses to sign a piece of legal paper and that's what the hold up I think.I really want to get my self back up in latter against I'm sick of being sick
Thanks for listening,
It means a lot,

It sounds trite but just remember, your debt is the bank's problem, not yours. Of course you'd prefer to settle out your debt but sometimes that simply isn't feasible. If you can't pay, then you can't pay. Look after yourself first and foremost.

is it as symbol as that, could i be put in prison???

I presume you mean 'simple as that' and the answer is no you will not be imprisoned if you cant pay a debt. As was stated earleir, the debt is the banks problem now and they would do well to write it off once they hear your difficulties. Never talk to them on the phone, always deal in writing. If they bring you to court just appear and tell your story, The judge will certainly not jail you.
