Please help. Irish people with GENUINE financial issues?

My partner is unfortunately out of work for 15 months. Do not judge please..he works in a specialist area, has worked 25yrs and paid taxes and does not want to be unemployed. Its not just a case of taking any job and its not snobbery, he just wont get it in a supermarket with his experience. The reason we cannot move for him to get work is because i'm the only child of two sick parents %26amp; a sick sibling (all in care) and i want to be near them. I work full time and take home 530 euro p.w after tax. We pay 900 euro rent. Again dont judge us for renting, we just did not want to end up with a huge mortgage we could not pay off if one of us was made redundant so we decided to stay renting. We are co habiting this past 4 years. But....we do not have Joint accounts or anything like that. Everything is split down the middle. My partner received the money you get from if you have paid taxes until last november. Then it was cut and he was means tested. It was then decided by welfare that i pay all the bills and that hes not entitled to any benefit. Just because i live with him. He mentioned me as partner and had to show my payslip. HOwever things have been bad since xmas and we split last January and he has since moved to his sisters house, not with me. The welfare has decided that he is not entitled to any money based on MY INCOME. but at the moment we are on a break. How will this work out now? Its just a break, it doesnt mean we wont get back together. Now i'm strangled paying rent on a full house but i refuse to move, i'm not sharing with strangers, i'm 34yr old woman with too much stress in mylife already adn we are decent hard working peoplePlease help.

If you have split with your partner and he has moved out - he must go to Appeals at the welfare. If you and he are complicating matters by 'being together but not together' then you are going to come up against a brick wall.

Not sure about Ireland but in England you could get housing advice from SHELTER.

Consider moving to a smaller place and getting in a lodger - I had a great one for about a year and he became part of the family. Sometimes we have to bite the bullet and it dosn't always turn out as bad as we had imagined.

Good luck
