Yes but if you WERE TO take up other employment, then you must relinquish the 350 payment. There is no way you can receive both at the same time

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.

QUOTE

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.

Nowhere in that quote does it say you may continue working, I agree it doesn't say you cannot continue working, however precedent would suggest that is the case.
2 or 3 people have contacted the department and have been told that working while receiving the PUP is not allowed.
Maybe it shouldn't be suggested that working while receiving the payment is a good idea?

The mere suggestion to fellow posters, that you can continue to work, and claim the 350 at the same time may well result in the believers ending up in trouble

How can you be available to take up full time work if you are already engaged working your taxi ?

[dalymount]

No matter what rat says, it was made aboundantly clear to TWICE by the dept of employment affairs, that there are ABSOLUTELY NO CIRCUMSTANCES in which you can work, and claim the covid payment at the same time I drew the dept reps attention to the publication realeased by the dept, and she said it is being misinterpreted, and AGAIN said there is no way you can claim, and work at the same time not the covid payment anyway

Rat is stating exactly what it SAYS but what it says is not what it means .
