Beer offer from Centra


Yes it is paid by the Dept of Social Protection, but because its a non means tested universal payment I wouldnt view it as a welfare payment in the same sense as other means tested payments.

I didnt say 'it isnt', I said 'I wouldnt class it'.
 
I dont think I know anyone who ring fences childrens allowance specifically for the children - do you?

I actually know a few couples who have never touched it and save it for future education costs.
An Post have a savings scheme where your children's allowance is directly paid into an account and held for a number of years, earning 10% interest.

1% not 10%.....if only!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Pretty sure its 10%.
I think they take the children's allowance for a year and hold it for a further 3.
