I got on to the dept AGAIN for clarifation this morning. Spoke to a lady called Maureen. I explained to her what the publication of 3/4/20 said, and she simply said anyone who believes you can claim this payment, and work  at the same is grossly misinterpreting it she said, like the guy I spoke to the other day, THERE ARE NO CIRCUMSTANCES in which covid 19 payment can be claimed while working.

As I said before the lad I've been passing work on to is claiming  the benefit, reckons because he put part time on the application form he's legit

[Bob Shillin]

Perhaps, as someone said on the wireless yesterday, eventually, "the blunt instrument will be sharpened".

[dalymount]

What I was told this morning was, there MIGHT be a supplementary payment available  in addition to JOBSEEKERS,, but you certainly CANNOT claim the covid payment while working she said any application for the jobseekers, is subject to a strict means test

You will only know how much business is down when we all go back on the road.

Drivers on here posting takings means zero and do not account for the majority of the fleet being on standby.

So from that point of view our takings are significantly down.Belker's 30% reduction in takings is only while we're all off.

So we should be taking everything that's going until they force us to do means tests.Remember 200 a week to run a taxi and probably 100 per week while it's parked up.

In means test they go with the previous years returns or income if self employed. Current income is unverifiable.

I got the impression they would be more interested in what you have in the bank

[mercenary for hire]

Don't think that's how it works.They would be interested if you had a pension though.You can have 10/20k in savings before they count against you.

100% they are interested.

You are allowed to have a certain amount of savings before they start to means test it. After that it’s like a euro deducted for every grand. Sometin like that, plus your previus weekly income. You the get topped up depending if you’re single or married

I hope all youse ringing Welfare are using false names before you ask them if you can take the €350 and work part-time 

[dalymount]

Well if you were to go with rats belief, you are quite entitled to the payment, so you need have no fear ringing welfare

its funny you should say that... There is a lad sitting in his car outside my house for the last few days. He has a camera with a big lens pointing straight at my car. Do you think he is from social welfare. I wonder how much it costs the state for him to sit there every day.

Of course.....Kenneth Cashman was the one i used!!

I think Rats interpretation of "business being diminished to such an extent that you would accept full time employment elsewhere" is flawed, everybody in receipt of job seekers allowance must be "available for work", this doesn't mean they can be fully employed but willing to go somewhere else if offered, it simply doesn't make sense that a self employed person can claim the payment just because their business is down a bit

That's not my interpretation, it's the definition published by the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection.

You may, if your trading income has collapsed to the extent that you are available to take up other full-time employment if it was offered to you, receive a payment of €350 per week for so long as you are available to take up other work. This is equal to the standard jobseeker rate for a two adult household.
