    Hey first time posting here,

    This is different from the other moving thread, I'm moving away from home to a flat in dublin and I was wondering what I need to do to transfer my payments to a local post office around my new address and a social welfare office thats near my new address, what exactly do I need to do? thanks

    You need to go into the sw office in Dublin that is for your area and ask them to transfer your claim. You will need proof of address for Dublin e.g. tenancy agreement and probably photo ID as well. Post office is usually the one nearest your address so they will be able to tell you what post office to collect at.

    Sorry, I'm in the same situation and I'm just wondering because I'm unsure..........

    Do you need to go to your current social welfare office first to notify them and fill in paperwork, inform them of where you're moving to etc OR do as you advised above and go to the social welfare office you intend to change to for signing on purposes first?
