How Eligibility for a Medical Card is Assessed??

    In the medical card section of the Oasis.gov.ie site it states
    Rates
    Weekly Income Limit (Gross less tax and PRSI)

    Category: Aged under 66
    Single person living alone: 184 euro

    Then on the following page it gives some examples.

    http://www.dohc.ie/press/releases/2005/sample_cases_20051013.html

    I'm especially interested in examples 3 & 6.


    Would anyone be able to explain to me how they are concluding that the person in example 3 is now eligible for a medical card, and how the person in example 6 is not eligible?

    Are they simple adding the basic weekly limit (i.e. Gross less tax and PRSI) of €184 + housing rent + work travel expenses; and if that total is more than the persons weekly assessable income (i.e. Gross Income less Income Tax and PRSI contributions) then the person is eligible for a medical card?l
