Hi there, I am Irish returning after been abroad for 2 year and 2 weeks. I was born abroad and came to leave in Ireland in 2001 with wife and my first son, worked in the same conpany untill was made redundant at the end of 2010 on those years had 2 more kids born in Ireland. I was in JSB in 2011 untill ran out of benefit. Because we lived in south america before we hand back house we where paying on share ownershish to council, we move to south america taking the redundancy money we had left hoping to get a job there and wait until jobs were available in Ireland, that way I would be supporting my family and will not be a burden to the state. Things were bad there, ended without money to return!!! was hell!!. At the start of this year was call from school and was told from the principal that the 2 smaller kids were under underweight!! so I called my brother in Ireland to bring us back, we sent the older daughter on August for the school, and once my brother had the money he paid for the rest of the family to return. I had olmost no money but they were waiting for my CV on my other brother company, had an interview 5 days after arrival in Ireland,. HERE THE PROBLEM, job start on January and firt pay at the end of the month went to social welfare expaining all the above and more and they did not care, they just were worry about habitual residency and nothing else, after very unhuman interview I was not even ask what help I was asking for. Well I am in the process of getting papers but need to know if we have a chance to pas HRC, I am worry because if not then many benefits like child benefit and medical cards will not be available for the kids ( don,t care about me, and wife don,t care about her in this regard).

We are living now with one of my brothers in 1 room the 5 of us and sharing it with my 15 years old nephew( have 2 daughter 9 and 15); eating and having all our belongings in my other brothers house. 2 smaller kids need to go to school and no money for school clothes.

I went to many web pages ( citizeninformation, welfare) but still not sure if:

1 Is there any one who can help a family living like this?
2 have a chance with social welfare
3 what to do in case application denied

Thanks very much.
