Income disregards

From January 2014 the first €90 of your gross weekly earnings is not taken into account (or disregarded). This means that you can earn up to €90 per week and qualify for the full One-Parent Family Payment. (This disregard will reduce to €75 from January 2015).
Half the remainder of your gross earnings up to €425 per week is assessed as means. If you earn between €90 and €425 per week you may qualify for a reduced payment. SW 19 Social Welfare Rates of Payment booklet shows the amount of OPF payable with your means.

The weekly income disregard will reduce to €75 from January 2015 and to €60 from January 2016.

Family Income Supplement should would come into affect too if working more than 19 hours and earning less than 950 a week which could be claimed alone with opf. It looks very generous.
