State non contributory pension

Hi
Both my parents receive state non contributory pensions, as an adult receiving job seekers allowance and top up from TUS, if i move in with them because i have no where else to go, what happens to their payments and my own payment?

Your parents payments will be unaffected if you return to live with them. If you have not yet reached your 25th birthday, you will be assessed for benefit and privilege on their income (not to worry if only income is Non-Contrib pension and any capital of theirs is not assessed anyway) until you reach 25 years. http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/irish_social_welfare_system/means_test_for_social_welfare_payments/how_parents_income_can_affect_jobseekers_allowance.html

Hi
Many thanks
I'm over 25 and all my parents are receiving is non contributory pension and fuel allowance.
