Rent a room on Illness Benefit

    I am on Illness Benefit for the last couple of years due to a mental health issue. I own my own house but have a big mortgage (purchased before I got sick). I'm really struggling to make ends meet. Is it possible to rent-a-room in my house tax free and without affecting my Illness Benefit?

    Ring the dept of social protection but yes I think so. You can when working so I don't see why not. You can earn up to €14000 tax free.

    You may find more suitable answers in state benefits forum.

    You can earn the money tax free but I have no idea if it would effect an illness benefits means test.
