| If you are a member of a union ask them to investigate and then take your case to the Employment Relations Authority following the appropriate steps. Alternatively, you can instruct a lawyer to act for you in order to do this. The union or a lawyer can give you a letter to take to Social Welfare stating that they are taking your case. This is usually sufficient to ensure you get paid the unemployment benefit. |
| Remember that if you lose your case you will probably be required to pay back all benefit money up to the 13 week stand-down time. |
| If you are not a union member, get advice from one of the organisations listed at the end of this information sheet; your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Community Law Centre. You will find them listed in your local telephone directory. |
