Worker living with unemployed Girlfriend

    So when I lived with my girlfriend last year we were both unemployed and on the dole. Our payments were cut to 170 each as we were living together which although very annoying I can understand why. Now she moved home for the summer and in the meantime I got a job. I'm currently living at home but we are thinking about moving back in together in letterkenny when she is looking for a job as it would solve lots of hassles etc. The trouble is one of my friends has been kicked off the dole for living with his girlfriend who is a teacher and in order to get any dole now he must move out.

    My question is if my girlfriend moves back in with me by how much will her dole be cut? I kinda figure she won’t get the full amount as we’re living together and I’m earning. Is there anywhere online I can fill in details and get a report or does one of us have to go up to the dole office and ask in there ourselves?

    down to 142, jeez dunno if it's worth it now. maybe 2 seperate places near each other, is there a limit to the amount of nights you can sleep over before you are classed as living together?

    k so turns out by earning 400 a week she would be entitled to 135 if she is on jobseekers allowance and the full amount on jobseekers benefit.

    and there is no limit to the amount of times i can crash in her gaff if we get seperate ones
