Benefits and State Supports

Citizen Information

The state has a number of allowances, benefits and tax reliefs that parents of a child diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, as well as people with CF, can apply to for support.  To find out more about these benefits please reach out to your local Citizen Information who will be able to support you and answer questions regarding your entitlements.

The Citizen Information Service provide free, impartial and confidential information, advice and advocacy to the public ranging from social housing to education.  If you need assistance or information on any aspect regarding state support, they can be contacted through their website www.citizeninformation.ie or by phone 0761 07 4000.
