I've just recieved the dreaded 2 weeks notice from my employer.

I have been recieving a widowers pension of 201 euro, which was bundled together wtih my small wages and I am paying 41% tax plus all the extras like prsi ,levy tax etc.

Now that I will be unemployed, will I be entitled to claim unemployment benefit or jobseekers allowance and still keep my pension?

I have been working for 8 years, and am 63 years of age.
