Back to School time can be expensive for Irish families but there is a social welfare payment that could help alleviate some of those costs.
The Back To School Allowance can be a lifeline for cash-strapped parents after the summer holidays but families are running out of time to apply for the 2022-23 term payment.
The one-off payment scheme was launched in July and depending on their ages, parents can receive €260 or €365 per child when applying. This year saw the payment increase by €100 due to the rising cost of school supplies.
