My partner and I were thinking of moving into together.
He is on Back to Work Enterprise Allowance and I am on Jobseekers Allowance and am applying for Back to Education Allowance in September.
Would any one know if our Social Welfare Payments will be cut if we do move in?
Thanks
 
Yes as it is allowance it is means tested. You are currently getting 2 by the full rate - if you move in toogether your payments will be reduced to a qualified adults allowance which is prob about 60 odd euro less. Better off staying separate.
 
as far as i know once you are getting jsa for a year you will qualify for a full btea payment ..ie you might be only getting 10 euro pw jsa if you move on to the btea payment you will get a full payment
