    Hey all
    Just looking for some advice and info

    Does anyone know anything regarding
    Social welfare assistance for self employed

    I had a look at the government site http://www.gov.ie/en/self-employed-benefits-01fa/
    But its a bit vague and general

    I guess im looking for specifics

    Rent allowance
    Social housing list
    Rent allowance
    Medical card
    Etc...

    Cheers in advance

    none of the things you listed are benifits.





    A medical card is means tested and you can check online if you are eligible on the medical card website


    Rent allowance no longer exsists, its all hap now (rent allowance can be givin in the short term toa family who have lost their income due to a redundancy or job loss by the social welfare, but only is you have lost your income and are applying for jsa/jsb, and its only a short term payment)

    And to qualifiy for hap you must be on a social housing list
    Social housing eligibility is also means tested.

    And hap has limits also depending on where you live and your family make up
