    you will get approx 150 a week
    myself and my partner have 3 children when he was working he was getting 320 so the social welfare reduced my payment to 150.
    but we also got fis which was another 140 more you should apply for that.

    are you asking can you keep your disability allowance?
    look here:
    f your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant works it can affect your Disability Allowance.

    Your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant's weekly earnings (from employment, including rehabilitiative employment) are assessed as follows:

    Weekly earnings are gross earnings less PRSI, superannuation (pension payments) and union dues.

    €20 per day (up to a maximum of €60) from work is deducted from your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant's average weekly earnings and then 60% of the balance is assessed as weekly means. The weekly means is then deducted from the combined total of your personal rate of Disability Allowance and the maximum Increase for a Qualified Adult and any Increases for Qualified Children (if applicable). This formula does not apply to income from self-employment (all income from self-employment is assessed and there are no disregards).
    I calculate your new rate of DA to be euro228.
