    Ok here's the situation.

    I'm with a girl but not living with her, we have a child together and she is claiming lone parents even though we're still with each other but I don't live with her.

    My ma earns E280 a week so that meant I got my dole cut down so I'm claiming from a different address so I can get the full amount as I have a child I really couldn't live on what I was getting.

    The thing is we're planning another child and the woman want's to go straight by the books.

    What's the advantage/disadvantage of going by the books?

    What a mess.......
    Advantage is you get to sleep better at night :)
    And you won't get flamed in this forum


    If ye have another child and move in together you lose one parent family payment and move to family income supplement.
    You will have a legit address so you can continue on Job seekers provided you are looking and available for work.
    For two children max is 570 euro per week so FIS will pay a set percentage of this. It has to be calculated.

    If ye don't move in together, she remains on opfp and once again, she is supposed to declare if you are handing over money and she has to earn less then 425 a week

    Both of these payments involve possible means tests and realy, I'm not going to work out the net sum of each, that's your job
    There are rules and calculations on:
