Are you means tested when you turn 24?

    I started collecting dole when I was 23. I was means tested and have been receiving 146 euro a week for the last year or so. I heard that when you turn 24 you are no longer means tested and should receive the full amount. Is this true?

    Where have you checked if this is true?
    For example, have you looked at citizensinformation.ie ?

    JSA is always means tested but, in relation to those living with parents/guardians, some of your parents' income will also be taken into account in the assessment for Jobseeker's Allowance up until your 25th birthday.
