British nationals looking to move to Ireland

Post by Angel592 » Thu Jul 25, 2013 12:48 pm

Does anyone know what the system is like for British nationals moving to Ireland? Like can they claim any benefits while looking for a job here, what's the system like for getting a house..etc. PS. They have an Irish born child.

The rules should be exactly the same as for an Irish national.

So does that mean they can apply for job seekers allowance straight away?

You can apply for anything, including jobseekers allowance.

Getting it is a different matter, because both Irish and Uk and EU and non-EU citizens must all do a habitual residence test to get JA.

Did either spouse work in Ireland previously - if yes their chance of getting JA is better as they should say they have been working in the UK and are returning home to Ireland.

Are they currently working in UK? If yes they may have enough contributions paid in the UK to qualify for benefit rather than allowance and there is no habitual residence test for that.
