    Just looking into farm assist, is there many farmers on it, or is it hassle to get on it, I am a family man working but not making great money and looking into this as an option.

    Straight forward enough application. Discounts certain income including basic farm payments.

    Any I have come across a member of dept of social protection call out to you and goes through the application.

    No it's self employed as far as I know

    You may be more suited to FIS. But I'm not sure either
