Your dishonest friends may claim for loads of people not living at their address but the cross checking will ensure that if those people get the allowance at that address they won't get it anywhere else.

They have their own reference numbers etc etc. They don't have to be able to potentially cross check with welfare or revenue to see if a person exists. 2 - The free allowance is ONE per house not 1 per person. If someone had 2 homes and they said their adult son lived in the second home (but he is really overseas) and gave his PPS number - then there is a chance they might get the free allowance. BUT - they would have to lie on the form obviously and say he lived there all the time. That would be fraud - and it will happen but using PPS will help reduce it. (This is My last reply )

Let me point it out to you......If you do not have a PPS number, you can contact your local social welfare office for details on how to apply for one, or a bank may accept a copy of your birth certificate instead. Or, long story short, you don't need a pps no in order to open a bank account. It may be handier to give one, but it's not a necessity. And that's not me saying that, that's taken from http://www.consumerhelp.ie/opening-an-account

Trying to label posters because of their views is a poor argument.

It's just another tax that the government can raise at budgets and make normal living for a high percentage of people in this country extremely unbearable. Were you pro property tax too?

dxhound2005 wrote: » Thank you for your advice. But as a lawyer what is your interpretation of the word "may" in this context? Could it possibly mean that a bank also may not accept a birth cert. I know all financial institutions have a space for the PPS number on their account opening forms so it may be that they expect this to be provided as the default position. In legal speak the word "will" should have been used there if that is what the banks have agreed to.
