Am I eligible? Advice please

    Hi folks,

    I'm in a bit of a predicament here and could do with some advice.

    At the moment I am officially a mature college student but unforeseen circumstances and costs have made it impossible for me to keep it up. I now intend to leave college so that I am eligible for Job seekers benefit so I can pay urgent bills etc

    I do have a job lined up for June but until then I'll need assistance from the government to keep me afloat. The only problem is that the requirements for JSB state that I need to have had a significant loss of income in order to be eligible. In my case I havn't had an income loss but I do have an essential expenses increase. I meet all the other criteria necessary for JSB regarding PRSI contributions etc

    Is there any way around this? After doing the maths here I don't think I'll be able to feed myself on anything less than 170 a week

    you should be able to sign on immediately after finishing college. make sure you get a letter from the college stating you have left the course and from what date
