No offence but you seem to have a track record of bad experiences dealing with people by phone - perhaps you are not approaching this in the most constructive way possible and maybe altering your approach might cause you less stress and hassle. I am very genuine in this and mean it sincerely as a constructive suggestion.Thank you both very much, I just rang the number on the letter and told her my story and she said that i was to go to my Social welfare office and fill out a form for "Disabilty assistance" which is means tested but im not earning anything and havent done since 05 and i asked her "Why have i do go do all this again when i was on disabilty since 2005 that she just have to switch me back on to it again, so the Socail Welfare office said.
She ranted about the tax year 2006 and siad "if you dont think you can live on €88 per week then go back to social Welfare office and fill in new forms. I asked her can she live on €88 per week and then she was a bit more mannerly. This is a very genuine case as i was involved in a hit and run accident and have very substantial injuries and may never work again and i cant seem to grasp why i have to go back to filling out forms all over again, which i did 3 years ago.
She told me to go to my local health centre and they should be able to give me some payment to tide me over..

hi,,
I received a letter dis morning stating that "A deciding officer has decided that you are entitled to Illness Benifit at a weekly rate of €88 and includes payment for 0 adult and 0 children.
Thank you
There seems to be some confusion here as regards which payment you were on. The original post says you were on disibility Benefit since the accident and prior to your course. Your last post states that you were in DA (Disability Allowance) since 2005.
Perhaps this accounts for some of the mis-understanding. These two sections of SW don't seem to communicate with each other
You can only be either of Illness Benefit of Disability Allowance so there would be no question of two sections having to communicate with each other.
Regarding the "€88" that you (OP) mention, I wonder would it be €88.90 which is a reduced rate based on earnings on the rehabilative course you mention? This would not apply though if it was DA that is being paid
Welfarite: Why would me doing a course have anything to do with earnings??
Who was paying you? Also how much?

I don't know! I'm only trying to work it out, like yourself. The rate you quted is a rate based on earnings, so I presumed you had earnings in 2006/2007? Can you say exactly what the "course" was? Who ran the course? I am also puzzled as to how you were paid BTEA when less than 3 years on Illness Benefit/Disability Benefit and for a course less than a year.
