S
Am I right in thinking that she can't even transfer over her tax credits to her partner because they're not married?sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but itf you don't satisy the means test due to fiance's income, then the CWO won't pay a weekly payment either. This is why SW did not tell you this, as March seems to suggest.
The bottom line is that because you went to Oz, you don't have sufficient paid/credited PRSI contributions to qualify for JB which is not means-tested. SW are treating you and your fiance as a married couple with an income over the limits to give you JA.
The CWO in the local health centre works for the HSE.
SW and HSE are completely different organisations.
The CWO in the HSE can make payments in what they deem to be "exeptional circumstances".
You need to put forward a case to your CWO who may be able to assist you financially.
Raskolnikov - the social welfare penalises unmarried people without the revenue giving people any of the benefits.
The OP needs to marry her fiance to get any married persons benefits.
SW treat unmarried co-habitants as a 'couple' for SW purposes in order to be fair and equal in payments. If they didn't there would be complaint sthat married people were 'penalised' for being so!
That would be ok if revenue did likewise. Anyway as you very well know lots of unmarried people are well able to get around social welfare
