    Hi, can anyone advise:

    Was living in Dublin with parents until a week or two ago. Getting means tested welfare, Job Seekers benefit I think, for the last six months. I am pregnant, have moved to Wexford with my fiance. We are renting down here. Last year my partner earned about 45,000 euro, this year its more like 15,000 so far, he is self employed and his business has pretty much fallen through. I'm terrified to tell my social welfare office in Dublin I have moved in case payments are stopped as we barely have enough money for food and petrol. However I know that it is dishonest and maybe I am worrying about nothing. Does anyone know what the process would be if I were to tell them I have moved? Would I have to go through the whole application thing again with the new office?

    Thanks for all your help in advance.

    If your fiancé's income has really decreased to such a low level, you may end up getting more than you were getting before since you will be eligible for the qualified adult add on payment and his income is quite low.

    With that said, it doesn't matter what will happen to your payments, you must tell the social welfare that you have moved in with your fiancé since withholding that information is fraud.
