    i just turned 18 and I'm still attending secondary school.As far I know I won't get any child benefit.Am I entitled to any form of benefits?I still leave my parents.

    My parents are on social welfare ,will they get an increase in social welfare because I'm still living with them?
    If yes,how much will they get extra per month?
    Thanks everybody for the help!

    Your family may be entitled to Family Income Supplement while you remain in full time education until you turn 22.

    In a word no, no additional benefits.

    If your parents are claiming a SW payment they may get a dependent rate for you with their payment.

    How much is a child dependent allowance per month?

    On internet I can only find €22.I'm not sure if this is per week or month.

    Increase for a qualified child
    Maximum rate €29.80 per week

    Child dependants
    A 'child dependant' is usually a child up to 18 years of age who lives with you.

    If you are getting a Jobseeker’s Allowance for at least 156 days and your child is in full-time education, an Increase for a Qualified Child (IQC) will be paid up to 22 years of age or up to the end of the academic year in which he or she reaches 22.

    You will only get a half-rate Increase for a Qualified Child if you and your spouse/civil partner/cohabitant are each getting a social welfare payment. You will each get half the Increase for a Qualified Child.
