    Do you also get €138? If your payment is split 50/50 between you which it should be then he would receive what is now your payment on top of his own if you sign off JA. Another option for both of you is for him to apply for family income supplement as he may be better off on that. http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/275_Family-Income-Supplement.aspx

    You can just close your claim and he will get the full payment then.

    Make sure if you decide to close your claim that if you are entitled to a credits claim for yourself to open one and also get hubby to apply for FIS. DSP will let him know which payment is more beneficial to him.
