In the medical card section of the Oasis.gov.ie site it states

Rates
Weekly Income Limit (Gross less tax and PRSI)

Category: Aged under 66
Single person living alone: 184 euro

Then on the following page it gives some examples.

I'm especially interested in examples 3 & 6.


Would anyone be able to explain to me how they are concluding that the person in example 3 is now eligible for a medical card, and how the person in example 6 is not eligible?

Are they simple adding the basic weekly limit (i.e. Gross less tax and PRSI) of €184 + housing rent + work travel expenses; and if that total is more than the persons weekly assessable income (i.e. Gross Income less Income Tax and PRSI contributions) then the person is eligible for a medical card?
