    I have been reading a lot about Civil Partnerships and how children or the family home are not taken into consideration at all.
    Does this mean that someone who has been claiming Lone Parents can continue to do so after entering a Civil Partnership?

    No, One-Parent Family Payment is not payable to a person who is in a relationship and living with another person of the opposite or same sex.

    If a person in receipt of One-Parent Family Payment, marries/is in civil partnership or remarries/is in a new civil partnership, entitlement to payment ceases as and from the date of marriage/civil partnership or remarriage/new civil partnership

    Interesting how that works, when the partner is not entitled to be officially seen as a co-parent in many other respects.
    Is there other welfare benefits that the Civil Partnership affects like this? Where although a child is involved and in the Civil Partnership children are not considered but are still affected?

    Cheers, it's all very interesting. I wonder what the long term implications of this will be.

    You might be better off discussing this in the legal type forum,http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=633
