    Maternity leave. Childrens allowance. Thats about it.

    Rent subsidy is only for people who have no roof over their heads. Or would have no roof over their heads if they don't get it. You don't pay "rent" to your partner or parents, you make a contribution towards your keep. Its not the same as paying rent to a stranger, which is what rent subsidy is for.

    don't think you are eligible for it if your bf earnd over the minimun required threshold for rent allowance. Easiest way to find out what you are entitled to is to ring the Welfare line. The no. will be on www.welfare.ie
