I said nothing to the social welfare about being in college as they didn't ask but not sure if this affects your payment or not.
Ok, regarding OPFP here's an example:
Total amount per week is €207. Lets say she tells social welfare that she is getting €50 per week from the father as maintainence. then half of this amount (€25) is deducted from the €207 , resulting in payment of €182 per week...at least this is what the situation was when I applied.
although she could state that the father is also a student with no income... as far as I've seen they don't look into this and just take your word for it
You are obliged to inform SW of any change in your circumstances ... and you would have signed a declaration to this effect! They "do not ask" because they don't know! You should inform them immediatly, even though it might not affect your payment...they might think you're trying to hoodwink them!
Are you encourageing fraudulent claiming?! ..........
Yes, SW will ask you to chase the father for maintenance of his child...the state asks them to do this for the simple reason that it does not want the taxpayer footing the bill for rearing a deliquent father's child.
Yes, it is your responsibility to provide evidence that you did this, through the courts or through voluntary methods.
And yes, even when maintenance is paid, SW tops this up with the OFP payment.
And I don't understand how being a student father makes you a deliquent.
