Thanks.Sorry to hear about your mother.
The system is completely unfair, my partner had a very rare disease for a few years and was unable to work, she’s fine now thank god and is back working but they wouldn’t give her disability allowance as she was cohabiting with me and I was in employment, the lady from welfare advised her to move back in with her mum!
She’s been working paying PRSI/PAYE/USC for 25 years and then when she gets sick she’s thrown to the wolves.
Working people get absolutely screwed in the current system
That's infuriating. Like the system should be there to help people who are working and who need it only occasionally but as you say the more you work the less you are entitled to which is crazy.
