Asking this for a friend:
  • In receipt of BTEA (Back to Education Allowance) since Sept. 2010
  • June – August 2011/2012/2013 received Jobseekers Benefit
  • June 2014: 3 weeks Jobseekers Benefit; 1week of June + July and August qualified for €50 Jobseekers Allowance
  • This year I did not qualify for Jobseekers Allowance: Earnings of spouse same as last year and number of weeks earnings calculated over the same also. What is different is that in 2014 a cumulative figure for PRSA was used as a deduction, whereas this year, the deduction for PRSA was based on the number of weeks from January 1st 2015.

Question: From Social Welfare’s point of view is this correct?
