    I think you're right that you will get arrears for the difference of 88 euro per week from the time of your original claim (15 months if that's how long it took). I have had dealings with Social Welfare (is it the Dept of Social Protection? ) plenty of times in the past as my son has a disability and despite the fact that a lot of people complain about them I was always treated very fairly when making a claim. Based on my experience I think you will receive your arrears pretty quickly but don't be afraid to contact them and ask all your questions. You are entitled to that money and you have waited a long time for it so don't feel bad about calling them and asking how much and when will you receive your arrears. I wish you the best with it and I hope the extra money makes life a little easier for you now.
