    I'm pretty sure she'll have to pay the extra.
    Rent allowance has been giving less & not more

    Rent Supplement (renamed a few years back) tenants cannot pay more than the agreed maximum rate - which in Kildare outside the few northern commuter towns is 700 for a single parent with two kids. If you raise the rent, she'll have to leave.

    Any side-deals to get more cash are illegal and also leave you with major issues in relation to tax and also PRTB etc as you'll have to have a contract signed with 700 on it.
