Hi,
Im writing for a relative who is currently in receipt of disability allowance, they need to know what are the regulations involving working abroad(you can work parttime in ireland while on disability allowance) parttime on disability allowance, is this possible to do?

He wants to go to australia as a casual parttime worker but doesn't want to go through all the hassel of going off disabilty(as he is still ill) and getting back on it when he comes home in 3 months, is there a way around this?

thanks for any advice in advance!

He can't claim it once he leaves the country his payment will be stopped disability isn't paid over seas ,
And you can only work if it's considered rehabilitative
