I seek clarification on a number of questions I raised on this section on Second Stage. It concerns the effect of the transition status on one-parent family payments as claimants transfer to jobseeker's allowance. Will one-parent families with a child dependant aged between 18 and 22 years in full-time education continue to receive income support on transition to jobseeker's allowance of €29.80 per week for him or her? Will they continue to receive the fuel allowance payment because normally one needs to be in receipt of the transitional jobseeker's allowance for 380 days to receive the allowance?
