    Hello All,
    First of all im on the dole and so is my girlfriend. she has a small mortgage on her house aprox €300 or less. We are thinking of moving in together as it would be cheaper than living seperate and were wondering if our payments would be cut and if so by how much. knowing the dole we would prob be means tested we both get €188/week

    Thanks a Mill..

    You'd get the same payment as a couple.

    For the means tested Jobseekers Allowance, you can check the link below under Rates and, depending on your ages, you will be entitled to equivalent of a claimant's amount added to a dependant adult amount, assuming neither of you have any means to be assessed. You can, however, maintain separate claims while living together, but the total max amount, which will be divided between you, will not exceed that paid to a claimant and adult dependant i.e., Euro 188.00 plus €124.80
