And what's so strange or unfair about that?Social welfare/State is not your friend. They will expect you to liquidate your assets to cover any shortfall in living costs.
When you are really in dire straits and have nothing then you should have no problem with the means test.
"not your friend" sounds some what pejorative for a system that gives money out when it's needed (means tested allowances) or has been paid for (PRSI linked benefits)?I was telling it as it is; not suggesting it was strange or unfair

You have to be down to your last €20,000 before they'll give you anything?! The inhumanity of it! And those kids in Syria think they have it bad...Ah! So that's why the first €20,000 of savings are completely disregarded for means test purposes, I always wondered!
