    I was wondering if anyone can help me here. Im 23 and on jobseekers allowance of 144 euro per week. I am living at home at the moment. My boyfriend and I want to move in together and he is working. He earns 340euro per week. My question is, if we were to move in together, how much would I be entitled to on JA. Rent on the only place we can find is 435euro per month. Please if anyone can help me figure this out as I can't make head nor tail of the info for calculating means etc. on the social welfare and citizens information websites.
    P.s. Sorry my euro symbol wont work. Thank you

    You'll get 144 + 124 as an increase for him less approx 170 in means so your new rate of pay will be 100 or so per week. Not all that scientific but close enough based on info provided.
