Rent Allowance/ Will it be cheaper?

Im sorry for posting another RA question on the forum, but even doing calculations with the help of Citizens Information and Welfare.ie it is still confusing. Im on Disability Allowance 188E , partner 188E on BTEA. Our Rent is 700 a month in Dublin. After our rent being reviewed recently, our top up is around 61E weekly…

Im sorry for posting another RA question on the forum, but even doing calculations with the help of Citizens Information and Welfare.ie it is still confusing.

Im on Disability Allowance 188E , partner 188E on BTEA. Our Rent is 700 a month in Dublin. After our rent being reviewed recently, our top up is around 61E weekly from the Department. Meaning we have to pay around 400E to the landlord at the end of each month. Does that sound correct?

If we are able to find somehow a studio that is cheaper. Lets say 450, would we be better off financially? Or will it be not worthwile? Meaning my top up from Department will be reduced still alot.. As an example from 61 to only 5 quid weekly.. Thanks
