Multiple births Grant

denashpot

Hi,

We just had twin boys last week and I was reading on the welfare site that were entitled to a once off grant.

Anyone know how I go about to claiming this grant?

Thanks.

Congrats on the twins!

It might be an idea to post a link to the answer to your question. Many people find old threads by doing a search and let's face it, your thread isn't very helpful!

The OP is likely to have little time to spare!

Multiple births

The rate of child benefit paid for twins will be 1.5 times the normal monthly rate for each child. Where the multiple birth involves three or more children, the rate of benefit paid is double the monthly rate, provided at least three of the children remain qualified.

In addition, a special 'once-off' grant of €635 is paid on all multiple births. Further 'once-off' grants of €635 are paid when the children are 4 years of age and 12 years of age.
