    She will lose her opf payment and afaik if you are working full time you do not qualify for rent allowance. I have done a rough calculation for fis and I have come up with a figure of €70 this is going on your gross pay for fis tax, prsi and usc are deducted before the figure is calculated so you can do you own calculation from this link http://www.welfare.ie/EN/Publications/SW22/Pages/7Howismyaveragefamilyincomecalculated.aspx

    If she were to apply for jobseekers allowance she would have to be looking for work I get a figure of €144 approx.
