    Quick question. What do me and My partner need to do if we want to move into together. She's on 1 parent family for herself and 5 kids (three of them are mine) and I'm on jobseekers. She has a local authority house that we plan to live in
    havent got a clue what we need to do to keep everything above board and still be able to afford to live while I seek a Job

    She just needs to inform OPFP that she is going to co-habit with you and give them a date. If her OPFP was administered by Sligo then she needs to write to them at SWS, College road, Sligo Ph 1890500000. If it is administered by her local SW Office then just pop into them.
    You are notifying your local SW office of your change of address and making a claim for yourself and herself and the five kids.
    €188+
    €124+
    €29.80 x 5
    =
    €461

    Is she geting any maintenance for the kids of whom you are not the dad?
    "Maintenance paid to your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant is also taken into account as means"
    She will have to tell her Housing Authority that you are moving in. The rent may go up, but not by much.

    Not quite.

    She will have to ask their permission - which is not automatically given if, for example, you have a history of problems in previous local authority tenancies, or if the house will be overcrowded with you there.

    Start with them.

    Deal with welfare after that.
