Youth Payment (YP) and Youth Parent Payment (YPP)

The aim of the service is to engage and support the young people to achieve improved well being through sustained education, training, work based learning or employment. This will contribute to them achieving long term economic independence and reducing the risk of long term benefit dependency.

We would like to work with those young people who either:

a)     Youth Payment (YP) i.e 16-17 year olds without dependent children who require financial assistance due to a family breakdown or are in a recognised relationship;

b)     Young Parent Payment (YPP) i.e 16-19 year old teen parents;

c)     Young Partners i.e 16-17 year olds with dependent children who are partners of main beneficiaries; or

d)     Young Parent Partners i.e. 16-19 year old teen parents who are partners of main beneficiaries.
