HEAR scheme

If this query is in the wrong forum please feel free to move.

Regarding a HEAR application, applicant meets the criteria for Income & Medical card and wonders if the father is a self employed taxi driver, would a taxi driver come under group 4 Socio-economic group ?? you would think that answer is readily available but cant find it anywhere. Thanks

I know this is late for you but all the info is here in the CSO website. Taxi driver does not qualify in any way as it is in socio-economic group A, E or H depending if self employed, employee or own account worker.
It needs to be D, F or G, and can change depending on the employment status eg if an employee (1,4) or self-employed (2).
Can be a bit complicated. Nurses aid would not get it but care assistant would. Basically the same thing.

If only one your parents is a member of the target groups do you still meet indicator 4?

Both your parents have to be members of the target groups to meet the indicator.
