Dole question

[dalymount]

Heres a question for all you drivers who might be well up on such matters.if I survive my current operation and in (say) 3months time I decide I want only work 20 hours a week as most people  are to do and still get the dole,now that self employed people are also allowed claim the dole could I also avail of this and only work 20 hours a week and get the dole as well ?

[john m]

No If you claim the dole you can do 20 hours in a PAYE job but not self employed .If you decide to retire and claim the Dole I think you must surrender your licence but not sure if you could rent the car and declare the rental as income and have your dole ammended .You really only have two choices Die or drive .

[dalymount]

Yeah im incline to agree with you I dont think self employed can do it even though we can now claim the dole

Can yu claim dole now wen yur  temporarily incapacitated like yurself daily ? ....yu can  proof yur not working for cople months ?  I Wonder

[dalymount]

No because the main criteria required is that you must be available for work and obviously im not

Claim the scratcher while you're off anyway Dalyer.

[dalymount]

Disability allowance?

[dalymount]

Tried it no joy there either you have to be out for at least a year.I went over everything with the citizens info the other day they said there is absolutely nothing you can claim

You can deffo get something but they'll need to means test you.If your wife works or you have another income it won't be worth it.Dunno what the name of it is.

Failing that, call into the Coolock Civic Centre.
If they're still uncooperative, rent your heap for a minimum €150 a week.
My brother has his pension AND rents his heap.€232 plus €150 a week  and props up the bar in The Comet.

Its called the supplementary welfere benefit and they told me because I have a small pension from eircom that what I would get would not be worth claiming

[mercenary for hire]

How small...

[dalymount]

They said it id the most harshly means tested payment of all welfere payments

The welfare is only there to bring you up to a minimum standard of living.If your pension already has you there then you'll be viewed by them as a time waster.In fact they'll laugh you out of the welfare office.Jammy cunt..
