    I will be 70 shortly and intend to apply for the Household Benefits Package. I note that the application form asks for details, including income, of all persons living with me.
    Does the fact that our adult (working) daughter lives with my wife (65) & I prevent us from getting the Household Benefits Package?

    Once you turn seventy you become entitled to this. The entitlement is not affected by your own income or that of another household member. It consists of €35 per month fuel allowance and a tv licence. Just one package per household.

    No. Once your over 70 it makes no difference who or how many are living with you.
