    HI, I live with my boyfriend who just found out his Job seekers benefit is about to run out. I work full-time so will he be entitled to job seekers allowance? I have two children to support who aren't his so will my wages still affect his claim?

    Yes you wages will affect his claim, it really all depends how much you are earning if its a good wage he will get very little when he is means tested, it wont matter that the kids are not his the system is a joke

    It should be seen as a family unit I presume - He'll get his personal rate (196.00), a Qualified Adult rate (€130.10) and 2 Child Dependant rates (2 x €29.80)

    All the above will then be assessed against your earnings which if is as you say 480 Gross will entitle him to some amount.

    Savings and property (2nd home) may be assessed also.
