Income disregards

• The first €130 of your gross weekly earnings is not taken into account (or disregarded). This means that you can earn up to €130 per week and qualify for the full One-Parent Family Payment.
• Half the remainder of your gross earnings up to €425 per week is assessed as means. If you earn between €130 and €425 per week you may qualify for a reduced payment. SW 19 Social Welfare Rates of Payment booklet shows the amount of OPF payable with your means

Rent allowance will most likely also be reduced.
