lone parent.... how will working affect my payment!!

hi i am currently on lone parent and living in the family home, i have been offered a job where i will be earning about 170 euro a week, 18 hours a week! how will this affect my lone parent?? also i am on the housing list and would like to know wether i would be entitled to rent allowance and how much is rent allowance??

You don't qualify for Rent Supplement while you're living at home. You may be entitled if you move to a rented property, there are different rent limits depending on where you will be living, and your wages would be assessed so it's difficult to say how much you might be entitled to.

Your one parent family payment will be reduced if you earn over 146 euro per week. It will be reduced by 1 euro for every 2 euro you earn above this amount. If you earn less than 146 euro, your OPFP payment isn't affected.

thank you much appreciated!!

Hello I am due a baby in March and I am just wondering how the Loan Parents payment works? I want to go back to work part time working 20 hours a week and it would be working Monday to a Friday, is this possible? Some one informed me that I am not aloud work Monday to a Friday, that I can only work a 3 day week our a 4 das week and work my 20 hours over those days!
