Not too far off the mark there Aidan

have contacted PUPRerate@welfare.ie everyday since with no reply.
“we’re in this together” me bollocks
There’s a little here about that –

It’s related to earnings 2 years ago. If you weren’t working for part of 2018, or earned on average less than 200 a week for 2018, they’re reducing the PUP now.
Yes that’s what they are saying alright.
I’ve worked without any interruption since 2005
In 2018 my earnings were €70,000.
Thats more than €200 a week by a long chalk.
They just dumped me off the PUP to massage figures. It’s a con and a lie
Outrageous then if that’s the case.
I’ve emailed and called them every day for 3 weeks.
no response from email and on the phone they just say send an email.
I’ve 3 dependants and my livelihood obliterated by covid restrictions.
I really feel for you Frank, maybe get on to your local representative ask them to make a noise on your behalf,
Could you call into someone? Are there any offices open?
Hopefully things get better soon & they back date what you’re owed too.
It’s based on what you submitted as your earnings to Revenue. 2018 is the latest full year earnings available.
Did you submit €70k to Revenue…
If yes, you have a case.
Yes I did.
My Chapter 4 Form 11 submitted to Revenue and forwarded to puprerate@welfare.ie declare the same.
Have emailed them every day.
Nothing.
Have called the telephone number.
– “you have to send an email”
– ‘I have, many times”
– ‘they’re very busy”
The PUP rerate unit is in Waterford.
I’ve rang Waterford Social Welfare.
– “you have to send an email”
– “we have no phone number for that department”
Kafkaesque stuff and very very upsetting.
should have had the Jackman sing a song
