Back to School Allowance

The Back to School Allowance is available to qualifying families from the Department of Social Protection, to help cover the cost of school uniforms and footwear.

If you already receive this allowance there is no need to apply as it will be paid automatically.

If you do not yet receive this and want more information about who qualifies and how to apply, there is excellent information on the Citizens Information website, or you can apply to the Department of Social Protection via your MyWelfare account...
