Getting a part time job

    I'm considering getting a part time job soon. I've been on disability and it's getting tough to keep up with my hobbies.

    I'm wondering how much it would be worth my while, and how much I can earn a week. I'm thinking of working 2 or 3 days a week. If I had an extra 100 euro or so a week I'd be fine for now and would be able to work towards a real job in a couple of years(I'll probably move out of the country for that).

    Income from workYou can do rehabilitative work and earn up to €120 per week without your payment being affected. You must get permission from the Department of Social and Family Affairs before you start work.

    50% of your earnings between €120 and €350 will not be taken into account in the Disability Allowance means test.

    Any earnings over €350 is fully assessed as income in the means test.

    If you have no other means, the maximum amount you can earn is €432 and still keep an entitlement to the minimum Disability Allowance payment of €2.80. More information is available in our document Disability payments and work.
