    Hi, I will be going away for two weeks next month, would like to know if I wlll still be entitled to receive my payments for the two weeks I am abroad?

    I am due to sign on in mid february and I am flying out in march.

    Does this affect my payment in any way?

    You have to notify your social welfare office, your payment will be held for you whilst your away and available to collect when you come back, social welfare will let you know exactly when

    If you intend going on holidays abroad, you should inform the Local Office two weeks in advance of your departure and complete form UP 30. All holiday payments will be made retrospectively when you return. If you go on holiday for longer than two weeks, you may be paid in respect of the first two weeks, but will not receive payment for any period abroad in excess of this.
