    Hi.We are expecting twins. Is there any special entitlement for twins? I heard about once off pay for buggy etc. I'm full time working with 470 euro per week, and my wife is currently on Job seeker allowance. It's going to be our third and fourth baby. Can We expect any help from local social welfare, or only people without job are entitled for extra benefits.
    Regards

    I don't think there are any-twins are fairly common these days. You could ask about the exceptional needs payments through social welfare channels but I'd imagine they are means tested etc.

    You'll get one and a half times child benefit per child. Try Family income supplement if you don't already get it.

    Maybe check with your local citizens advice bureau or CWO. There is also a State Benefits forum on here you could search previous posts:
