    I'm going on holiday on Saturday for a week. I know on illness benefit I had to notify the social welfare if I was leaving the country. Does the same apply with invalidity?

    No you don't need to if it's just a few weeks...
    If you are living outside the Irish State, the following social welfare payments can be paid abroad:

    Invalidity Pension
    State Pension (Contributory)
    Disablement Benefit. The Constant Attendance Allowance increase is only paid for up to 6 months. However, if you are abroad for medical treatment you may continue to get Incapacity Supplement, such claims are assessed on a case by case basis.
    Guardian's Payment (Contributory)
    Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Civil Partner's (Contributory) Pension
    Death Benefits under the Occupational Injury Benefit Scheme
    Bereavement Grant

    If you are getting one of these social welfare payments and you are going abroad for just a few weeks, you do not have to notify the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection.
