    Hello, I am currently 19 and repeating a module in college, i have a younger brother(13) and sister(6) who are both in full time education. My mothers only source of income is from the social welfare so its like 250 a week she gets on a thursday or something, she also gets rent allowance. I recently got a contract job which pays pretty well (444 a week) while im repeating my module. Someone from the social welfare rang her and told her to send them in all my details and said shed lose some rent supplement because im working and I lie with her.Basically, Im just wondering how much they are allowed to take off here for just me working?
