    Hello everyone. I am 21 years old and completely independent. I will be undergoing shoulder surgery in a few months and am wondering will I qualify for any welfare options. The injury is personal and not worked related but I will be unfit to work for a few months after the operation. If anybody has any experience in this area please let me know thanks

    If you have enough stamps you will qualify for illness benefit. If not you will have to apply for supplementary welfare allowance. You will be means tested for the later on any capital you have over €5k
