Help with unemployment benefit reductions | Legal Advice

Questioner

I am currently receiving unemployment benefits because I had a part-time job, it was 808 euros every 4 weeks, now they have cut my benefits to 720 euros because I did not show up for a workshop and I can no longer pay the bills, I don't even have money to live on, my question is, is that allowed? I am now in big trouble.

I advise you to send a letter and object to the deduction. Perhaps this can be withheld in installments. If you were unable to attend the workshop due to force majeure, it may be that the entire amount may not be deducted. You must then report this.
