i'd take it too if i was in your position but i wouldn't have a beef with the government if they ruled me ineligible because i have income and savings to get me through a crisis/illness.

As Sly said I paid for it and it's time to collect. If we had nothing coming in the allowance would be greater so the Government is taking that into consideration. Yes the business is still doing well but we are unable to shoot and that costs us a lot of money. What would the US Government do if I was in the US. Take our house, money in the bank and the business before we qualified?
And don't be fooled the Czech Republic isn't doing as badly as you imagine.
