Stair gates form the state.

DollyB

Hi, I was wondering does anyone know how do you qualify to receive stair gates from the state? I know a single parent family can receive them but I am married but our total income is only €335.30. We are currently not receiving any rent supplement, as we are waiting on increases in our payments which we are over due.

Any information would be helpful.

Sounds like something that might fall under an exceptional needs payment from a Community Welfare Officer.

Well i had two for sale on adverts and got 30 for the two and guess what i did with the money? bought clothes for my son thats how you survive on welfare.
so gather up your child's clothes that don't fit and sell them on adverts to buy gates
