Cohabiting Couple on Jobseekers query

    Basic enough one but my local office won't answer me (they replied by e-mail) because I'm inquiring on behalf of someone else & their partner.

    So neither have any assets or liabilities or savings or capital etc.

    Only income is the €203 Payment they receive on JA; they currently live separately but want to co-habit (it'd be a property share most likely in case it makes any difference to calculations; doubt it does though?).

    What amount, per person, might they lose?

    He already lives there, she, in theory anyway for claiming purposes, lives at home with parents.

    Both're 25+ & have no dependants.

    Do they both still qualify for €406 (€203 x 2) and if not which of them has to take a financial hit and how much is it.

    I tried Citizens Information, DEASP, Intreo locally & Nationally on this before posting; it's a basic enough query, I didn't breach GDPR in that I didn't name either individual but they still couldn't or wouldn't give me an answer.

    Thanks.

    €203 Claiment & €147 Adult Dependent. They will receive €175 each if cohabiting.

    Spot on. I wonder will the €147 stay or will it revert to €134.70?

    Excuse my ignorance but why would it change back to €134.70?

    It was increased from €134.70 to €147 suddenly following the lockdown. I expect it to go back to the original figure at some stage. That would make the payment to a couple on JSA with no children €168.85 each per week.
