I really want to move in with her and start cohabiting with the new baby and her but if I do this she will lose her paymet and rent allows, and we would have to service of my wages of 1520 and pay the 800 rent ourselfs, but if I packed in my job we would recieve 372 per week dole and also recieve rent allowane on top of this? My point is would we be better of doing this?? Thanks

    This this thread is better suited here; it's not really an employment problem.

    Are you seriously asking in the work problems section if you should stop working? Read some of the posts on here from the many people who are literally desperate for a job - any job -
    or the ones who are being treated badly but can't leave because even a bad job is better than no job.

    I think you've a bit of a cheek TBH. The social welfare system is totally arsed up and creates ridiculous situations such as yours, but nonetheless I find it rather distasteful that someone thinks its acceptable to have a family and voluntarily give up work so the state can support that family instead of doing it themselves. Sorry if that sounds judgmental or offends you, but I can't be the one to tell you 'yeah mate, give up your job, I don't mind using my tax to fund your life choices'.

    Especially when there are so many people out there who would crawl over their granny to even have a job paying over €1500 per month.

    If you give up our job you will be disqaulified from any SW for a minimum of 9 weeks and possibly longer.
    To get jobseekes Benefit o Allowance you must be lookin for work, so if you give up a job you are not looking for work.
    You can only get help with your rent if you are in receipt of a SW payment so how do you propose to live while you have neither wages nor social support? Maybe you have considerale savings or a very supportive family but on €350 wages currently I cannot imagine you have saved much.:confused:
    Even if you eventually get JSB, you will have to tailor your accomodation to suit the Rent limits in your area, so you might have to move.
