My boyfriend claims disability allowance and I am a dependent on his money so is our 5year old and I work part time so he gets 275 a week for us. Does any one know Id be entitled to claim for him or my son, when he is already claiming for us as dependents.

Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.

This is where DSP are funny. If your partner is earning less than €310 a week, you may get an increase for him. However if he is in receipt of any DSP payment, you won't get an increase for him. Figure out the logic of that if you can. Crazy imo.
