    In the process of recieving JA at family home, I am looking to move out and wondering if I would get a RA or any help towards rent - surely €100 can't cover both rent and cost of living?

    I will be 20 come October - if this helps.

    So, it would be the 100 per week to cover all?

    Yep. You don't get extra cash just because you want to move out.

    Not so much that I "want" to move out, more of a "have no other option", nonetheless thanks.

    Op this might help

    From reading it I think you would get RA if you meet the criteria, you would have to be on the housing list and find a place.
    That's only my reading of it though so ring citizens advice for a more comprehensive answer.
