Yes, you can apply for this if you are on CE, provided that your combined income is below the limits. For limits see http://www.welfare.ie/EN/Schemes/Su...BacktoSchoolClothingandFootwearAllowance.aspx

You should have received a letter to advise you if you were getting the payment automatically. If you don't get that letter by Thursday, then you can send in an application (forms will be available on the SW website - follow Ildánach's link).

Would the social welfare know that my husband is on a CE Scheme, are they all connected, will it come up on there system

Probably not as CE is not administered as a social welfare payment, but as gipimann says above, if you haven't received notification that you're on the scheme by 30th June (Thursday), then apply. They don't have the form up yet, but they should have come Thursday.
