OPf and CE scheme?

[danois]

Hi all I have just been offered a place on a CE scheme and I'm delighted and confused. I know that the double payments are no more on CE schemes and I have tried to figure out how much of my OPF payment I loose and I can't (thankfully job wont include numbers !!)

I am wondering if anyone here would be able to tell me how much i will loose. I am a lone parent with 3 children.

I tried to work it out using the one parent family payment and CE scheme worksheet but just got confused again


Also do I need to inform the OPF section that I am on a CE scheme or do FAS do that??

Thanks for any help

D.

CE and Opf payment

Take € 146.40 from your OPF payment divide the balance by half and that is what u will loose from your OPF payment . You will loose 65.50 per week but u will get it back when your scheme finishes. ok u will receive 211.0 per week on your opf payment + your Ce Payment of 277.90.
