Have been managing to get the childrens allowance in error as I work for, and pay PRSI (NI) in the UK. Not knowing as I became the sole breadwinner in the house I should have switched to claiming UK child benefit due to the complex rules, I find myself in the position of this being now flagged up by the welfare here.
I'm happy to switch to the UK system to comply with the rules, my question is will I have to repay the 3 or so years I've received the benefit in error? In general do the welfare pursue these cases retrospectively?
Any knowledge or advice would be helpful.
