I'm a lone parent and have applied for lone parent allowance. Does anybody know what the visit from the Social Welfare inspector entails and what sort of questions he/she might ask? Do they have a right to look around my home?
Thanks for your help.
 
most are pretty nice and dont stay more than a few mins.just ask basic questions.who lives with you,wheres the father,have you tried to make contact with him.how much is you income if you work.he/she may look at you bedroom but they dont snoop around.some ask to use the toilet and check for mens items(if you live alone)
 
The operational guidelines for the One Parent Family Payment scheme are outlined here in case they are of any use to you.
