PRSI was worthless when I really needed it
After obtaining four medical certificates for being out of work I sent away all the documentation necessary to obtain disability benefit for my loss of a month's wages.
Expecting to receive a cheque back from the social services, instead I received a letter saying I was not eligible for benefit. After consulting a friend who works for social welfare, it transpired that because I was self-employed and paying PRSI contributions under Plan S two years ago, I was not eligible for any benefit now.
