how is land taken into account when applying for social welfare. I am separated 3 months and i have applied for one parent family and have just received inheritance in the form of land worth 100,000. CAT will need to be paid also in October. Are there other payments which may be suitable for me to claim? is there a cap on the value of land you can own and still get a social welfare payment?

As far as I know it's normally taken into consideration as part of the means test for payments subject to means testing. This should help clarify:
Means test
To qualify for a social assistance payment you must satisfy a means test. A means test examines all your sources of income. However, some income is not taken into account in the calculation of your means.

One-Parent Family Payment
One-Parent Family Payment is a payment for people who are bringing children up without the support of a partner.
Impossible to say without some info about your overall personal circumstances.
See the links above.
