The only option for persons to claim Illness Benefit and work is the Partial Capacity Benefit (PCB) scheme.
There was an "exemption" system, which allowed persons to work and keep their illness benefit if the work was deemed to be of a rehabilitative nature, but that system has been replaced by PCB.
As you have said, you cannot claim PCB unless you are currently in receipt of Illness Benefit or Invalidity Pension and have been for 6 months.
If you are able to work part-time, you may be eligible for One Parent Family Payment (your full-time income is over the limit of €425 pw).
You may also be eligible for Family Income Supplement (provided you work over 19 hrs per week and earn under €506 pw).
It seems from citizens info site that a person can earn and also get a disability benefit once my doctor classifies the work as rehabilitative. But again, what does that mean?If you are getting Disability Allowance or Blind Pension you can do rehabilitative work and keep your social welfare payment – with permission from the Department of Social Protection.
