If you are a guardian you may get a payment from the Department of Social and Family Affairs in your own right and still get a Guardian's Payment for any qualified child living with you. However you cannot get an Increase for Qualified Child for any children for whom Guardian’s Payment is being paid.
A child for whom a Guardian's Payment is being paid may also get the following payments if they satisfy the relevant qualifying conditions:
- Illness Benefit
- Maternity Benefit
- Health and Safety Benefit
- Adoptive Benefit
- Jobseeker's Benefit
- Injury Benefit
- Incapacity Supplement
- Death Benefit
- Widow's or Widower's (Contributory) or (Non-Contributory) Pension
- One-Parent Family Payment.
Note
Guardian's Payment and Fostercare Allowance are not payable together.
