    I have two questions if anyone cud help me with the answers, would be gratefull...
    Firstly, I am currently living in Lucan area, and getting my jobseekers allowance there, but i am planning on moving to sandyford next month. Will my payments be transferred to Sandyford post office, how is it actually done?

    The second second thing is, I am currently 6mths pregnant, and am struggling to buy stuff for the comming baby, as I am single at the moment without a job to support me. I was told by a lady in county council that i can apply for some kind of help moneywise from HSE community welfare, is that true?

    Thanks

    When I moved from Clare to Dublin, I contacted the SW office I was going to in Clare and informed them of the one closest to me in Dublin. Then in my new home I went to the one closest to me and they got me to prove my address (lease works for this) and that was it. They will transfer your payment to the closest PO to your address :)

    Go to your community welfare officer, he/she will give you a clothing grant for you and/or the baby.

    They will also tell you the procedure for the purchasing of stuff for the baby. I am not sure of this as luckily my partners family helped us out, but I know the CWO will contribute something.

    Good Luck :)

    Thanks because i was worried that they will have to assess me again on my new address, as its another area of dublin...and that could take a long time.

    Well I went to a totally different part of Ireland and it was sorted instantaneously so you should be ok :)
