you will receive nothing

There is a limit to the amount of rent allowance you can receive. last time the maximum amount of rent you would receive rent allowance on was 440 euro, this has since been cut.

at 700 euro a month, a single person will get zilch

ok fair enough i am asking this because i know few lads that rent apartments that are 650 to 750 euros per month and they get a payment if anyone out their ho is actually renting a 2 bed apartment thats in receipt of rent allownce,, from wat i gather the limit means that i cannot afford accomadation on my own in reality where are their apartments in limerick that are 450 per month...
