    I just came from CWO this morning in Rathfarnham. I was told that the rate of rent allowance is EU529 per month on your own and EU390 a month if in shared accommodation. I want to move in with my boyfriend, he is in full time employment, although for a nominal salary so he could not pay MY rent (I am unemployed). I would not be entitled to RA because of this, but surely one could rent a two bedroom as 'friends'(?). We are both living with our parents but I am on a list for social housing entitling me to RA. Any insight greatly appreciated.

    Yeah okay i get it, but I just don't understand it. There wouldn't BE any fraud, everything split 50/50, so why should someone else have to suffer on my account?
