Social Welfare and the self employed

Mayo Joe · 2024-06-12 11:32:19

I have applied for jobseekers benefit having been self employed for 30 odd years. The application was totally refused as I have a small rental income of approximately €3,000 (net) per annum and am deemed to be still engaged in self employment. Anyone have any experience of this?

Hi there ,
Something is not right with that decision, during the pandemic a lot of self employed people had difficulties ,especially with PUP.
Regardless of what is relatively small rental income you should be entitled to something assuming the attached image 👇
