Disability Allowance marriage cohabiting Social Welfare

    My partner is in receipt of disability allowance since approx 2007. We recently moved in together. I am fully employed on a good salary. We notified Social Welfare of his change in circumstances in order to cut the living alone allowance and also the household benefits package (for fuel allowance and tv licence I think?) and have sent off 2 forms to them containing all of my details. Partner pays child maintenance for his 2 teenagers out of his allowance weekly also. They live with their Mother, 2 half siblings and Mothers partner. Both adults work full-time.
    I know his allowance will be reduced.
    Can anyone tell me if my partner will be cut off the disability allowance in full? Will I also be responsible for paying his child maintenance?

    Maybe take this to the State Benefits forum here on boards,ie?
