Payment of Rent Supplement is not dependent on the landlord providing their PPSN (although Revenue wanted it to be!). As the landlord can decide to send or not to send the details back to the HSE, that is not a valid reason for suspending your claim. You should ask to speak to the Superintendent CWO and take the matter up with him/her.

A pal of mine is in your exact position Gene. He filled out all the paperwork for SW for his Invalidity Pension and even had a medical examination by their medical referee and there were no problems. Both payments "stand alone" from each other and are not related in any way. I know that Welfarite has answered your question but I just mention this for reassurance as some of these things can be quite a worry indeed. Although...

What is 'means tested'?

Co-habitation is no longer an issue. I have been allowed my OPFP and it was proved during the appeal that I am not co-habiting. Like I say, the house in which I reside has nothing to do with the father and they are assessing that as means. However, the car I use does belong to him but I still cant see anything in the guidelines where these can be assessed as means. Citizens Information have been in contact with the SWI and he said 'that...

Invalidity Pension from SW is based on PRSI contributions paid and is not means tested so it's ok to have two pensions.

The CWO does not ask the tenant to supply the landlord's PPSN. A form is sent directly to the landlord requesting the number, and that form is returned to the office of the Superintendent CWO for the area, not via the tenant. The form is issued once the claim for rent supplement has been authorised for payment.

You're being means tested because your entitlement to Jobseeker's benefit has run out and you are now only entitled to Jobseeker's Allowance. As your wife is working then you are assessed on your joint earnings for the allowance payment. There are many unemployed people in this country who are in the same situation as you. There is nothing else you can do - the CWO hands' are tied so your ...

I agree that it is a very blunt stick to solve a problem that is caused by the fact that the social welfare systems and the tax systems are not integrated. I do feel sorry for people who are settled in Ireland for years, and have to fill this in every 3 months, it must make people feel unwelcome. Similar forms are sent to Irish families but not as often. Unfortunately, until Government...

If the person claiming Jobseekers is aged under 20, and the payment is Jobseeker's Allowance (not PRSI based) then the maximum payment is 200 euro for the couple. This will change to full rate (which will be 326.10 for a couple at Jan 2010 rates) when the person claiming JA reaches their 20th birthday.

An UPDATE I just got the "Decision of Scheme Administrator" , there is an amount for 2002 and one for 2003 plus an inflation adjustment . However in the 6 page letter there is no explanation of how the amounts are calculated or more importantly , why is there no refund for the 8 years before 2002 when he was over 66 and thus pensionable . The repayments for 2002 and 2003 are roughly 80...

As far as I know, the review that was mentioned in the Budget refers to an overall review of the workings of the scheme e.g. qualifying conditions, duration of payment & guidelines for assessment which has been ongoing for some time now, the results of which are to be announced sometime in 2010. With regard to your particular situation, mortgage interest supplement payments are subject to...

It depends on your income - if you're working, then your income and her jobseeker's benefit will be assessed to determine entitlement to the medical card.
