rent allowence for mother and son

Hi, hope someone can help, I am a mature lady on rent allowance living in Navona, my son lives in Dublin with his dad, he has a 5 MTS old baby, he wants to get his own house so he can have his baby come and stay with him some of the time, his dad is an alcoholic , so cant bring baby there. What rent allowence would he be intitled to, and would they give him the deposit required, he is on jobs seekers allowence, ?

He will need to find a place to live and then go down to the social welfare and he can ask them for some funding towards the deposit. I think he might need some basic figures before he goes down to them. He will also need to see if the landlord will take social welfare. It will be up to the discretion of the welfare if they will give him the deposit or even some of it. He will also need to submit a form for rent relief.

Ah Thanks for that, will pass that info on to him.
