I have a husband, he was paid off last year and now he works full-time in the north I don’t work, his income is 280£(after tax and PRSI) a week, we live in rented flat (rent =110euros a week) and I'm expecting our second child. Are we entitled to any help from social??? we applied for FIS but we got a letter that we don’t pay PRSI in Ireland so we cant get it? Does it apply to all social benefits??? Can we claim Basic Supplementary Welfare Allowance or Rent supplement ? Big thanx g.
gogus24 dont get me wrong but your spouse has full time , paid employment , in another state were you, i presume pay their tax's etc and you want us to pay you as well, talk about wanting your cake and eating it!
Gogus24 have a look on [broken link removed]
you are not the only 'frontier worker' and there are agreement in relation to social welfare, taxation etc between countries
good luck
