Thank you, I can see that €2540 is disregarded and 50% of the balance is disregarded if you are receiving REPS, AEOS and SAC payments but still can't seem to find the disregard amount from Single Payment Scheme. I have seen on one of the forms an inspector did for her they put in a disregard of €2540 and 50% of the balance, wondering if they calculate it the same way as the Farm Assist? But can't find anything online confirming it.

Thanks yea I found that out. They allow for €7.60 per week to be disregarded and have a table of earnings on welfare.ie to figure out your entitlement
