Okay in a fue months I will be applying for the dole as I will be 18, I really have no clue how this works(what benefits I can get, etc..) for the first about 4 months I will be living at home with my parents - don't know if this is irrelevant but they both work one as a handy man 5 days a week 9-5 in a hotel and my mam works as a cleaner in a hse building 2-3 days(but dosent get any benefits, she's jobshering) I'm also an only 'child' if that matters...
Anyhow, what benefits do I apply for? Confused with the all the different ones if that makes sense so if someone could help me that would be great!

- I also plan To move to a different city fue months after I am on the dole so my circumstances would have changed.. How would I go about getting it transferred to my then new home? And I would be living alone then would I get different /extra welfare... Someone please help! Thanks ..

OK. First of all, have you left school yet? You cannot apply for the dole until you have been left school for 3 months. The maximum amount of dole you can get is €100 per week, but you may not even get that it depends on how much your parents are earning.
If you did move out from home you would get €100 per week. It would be very difficult , actually impossible to live away from home on €100 a week.
Jobseekers Allowance is the payment you are applying for.

In theory you should actually be job seeking to claim that allowance. See advice on your other thread.
