The person concerned is currently in receipt of half rate child dependent allowance of €14.90 on her disability allowance claim. Her husband is in receipt of half rate child dependent allowance of €14.90 for the same child on his jobseekers allowance claim. The total weekly amount of child dependent allowance payable in respect of any one child is €29.80. If the person's circumstances have changed she should request a review of her claim and her file will be sent to a Social Welfare Inspector for investigation.
