i expect it would all depend in how much money you will earn.

With the exception of Jobseeker's Allowance (JA), Pre-Retirement Allowance (PRETA), Disability Allowance (DA), or Farm Assist (FA) have gross earnings or income (before tax and PRSI deductions) of less than €310. If your adult dependant is earning less than €100 you will get a full Increase for a Qualified Adult . If your adult dependant is earning between €100 and €310 you will get a reduced-rate of IQA. If your adult dependant is earning more than €310 you will not get an Increase for a Qualified Adult. See below, for more information about the assessment of a qualified adult's income.
