HI S class -thanks again. I hope you don't mind a further query.If your class A employment has run for a minimum of 26 weeks you will qualify for Jobseekers Benefit.
You can make a new application for Jobseekers Benefit now.
I made a mistake in post #5.
You cannot qualify for BP 65 but you could possibly qualify for Jobseekers Benefit.
This could be backdated to Nov 23 when you ceased employment.
Forget about BP65.
For a person aged between 65 and 66, Jobseekers Benefit is exactly the same as BP65.
Jobseekers Benefit for age 65 to 66 is always paid at the full rate of 232 euro regardless of your previous class A earnings. It is also paid up to age 66 regardless of whether your entitlement to 9 months would have run out before then.
You don't need to be available for or seeking work and you don't need to sign on.
There are restrictions to BP65 which limits subsidiary earnings to 7500 euro.
With Jobseekers Benefit there is no limit to your subsidiary earnings.
The only rules you need to meet is that you must have had your investment income for a period of at least 117 weeks and your class A employment must have run for a minimum of 26 weeks before you ceased it.
If you meet these rules and have the required class A stamps for the last few years you will qualify for Jobseekers Benefit.
Apply now you have nothing to loose.
