I think anyone with a child is exempt.

Currently, all Jobseeker's Allowance and Supplementary Welfare Allowance recipients, regardless of age, who have children continue to receive a personal rate of €188 per week and an increase for a qualified adult, if applicable, of €124.80 plus qualified child increases. There are no changes to those arrangements.
