I'm looking for some help. My brother who is unemployed is living at home on the family farm. He went back to college in 2004 and completed his masters in engineering in 2008. For one reason or another he couldn't get a job afterwards. He is an extremely shy person and perhaps was seen as too timid by employers to get the jobs which were on offer at the time. Anyway, he lived off his savings for the first 7 /8 months and from some contributions from his mother and brother who is the farms the land. In January 2009, he applied to SW for Jobseekers benefits, he had all of the necessary interviews, documentation etc, job refusal letters etc, but to cut a long story short, SW dept turned him down for Jobseekers allowance as they said he was living at home on the family farm and his mothers income would be sufficient to look after him. Now my mother is under serious pressure financially herself and is not only trying to pay Son 1 for the farming work, but also has to support her other unemployed adult son aswell, she has turned to her local TD but is not getting any help on the matter. Any advice on where to turn to, would be greatly appriecated???
