    Hi,

    I finished a PhD this year and am currently on social welfare. I am claiming expenses for a conference attended while doing my PhD earlier this year. I have to fill out a non-staff expenses form and this is asking for my PPS no. As far as I know its going through payroll and directly into my bank account. I'm a little worried that the revenue will treat this as income and alert the Dept of social protection, even though this is not pay for work done but reimbursement of travel expenses that I have paid myself. Doean anyone have any info or experience on this?

    Revenue will only treat it as income If the payer includes the payment on their p35 for the year. Id be more interested to find our why they need your pps number, if they are only repaying expenses
