    Hi Guys...
    I was onto 2 different people today about the forms required to collect the dole today. Do i need a P45 or not?

    1. UP1 Form
    2. Passport
    3. P60 from 2008 - which i have
    4. PPS number

    Is there anything else i need?
    I cant seem to find my P45 from any of the years. I'll look again. Is it needed?
    Thanks

    One which i'll ask at the office tomorrow too.

    Why can't full time students, who have paid 5+ years of Tax, and are receiving no grants or anything from the state to help with their studies, and paying massive fee's to do a course, not claim the dole when they need it most, ie during the academic year?

    Yet as soon as they finish exams, they can then claim the dole, if of course they meet all requirements and cannot find work incl having done 5+ interviews for summer work but nothing happening.

    How is a student any different to a non-working person in this regard?
    Does anyone know the answer to this?

    Thanks.

    As a full time student you are not Unemployed and not actively seeking full time employment therefore not entitled to collect Job-seekers. That is why they have maintenance grant to help you during term time for basic living costs. There is nothing to stop you getting a part time job 20hrs a weeks and earn the same amount as JSA. It is your choice to attend college and further your education, why would you expect the state to pay for it?

    You can claim it back when you are 72 and retire.
    Me I'm putting it under the mattress as I cannot afford to prop up any more banks. :p Your tax dollars at work !

    Ha ha!
    Unfortunately, there was no option of a mattress when the cash had already gone before the paycheck came.

    If it was optional,I think id be buying many mattresses! I dont suppose it matters but I vehemently disagree with this banking bailout.
    If the options are
    1 - let the banks go to the wall and lose our credibility to lenders but keep approx 30billion maybe more
    or
    2 - Burn 30billion to retain debatable international approval.
    well i know what option i'd be taking.

    Where to get a P45

    If you were previously working your last employer will have your P45. you ask them for it.

    If you have not previously been working, then you seek a P45 from your local Revenue office.

    To the best of my knowledge, P45s are filled out by hand and cannot be downloaded

    Bring your P60, better to have something you don't need than to need something you don't have.

    Your PPS number should be on both your P60 and P45. you will need to bring your card with you nonetheless.

    If you are stuck for money while you are going through the whole process, you should get in touch with your local HSE community Welfare Office and ask about Supplimentary Welfare Allowance.
