Citizenship Application & Social Benefits

[Malik10991]

Hi Folks
"If it's not under the correct section please move it to the correct section"
My mother is due to apply for her citizenship in 6 months or so from now. She's currently on a stamp 4 equivalent for 5 years by virtue of my father who is a British national exercising his right to free movement in Ireland prior to brexit.
The question is can my mother take HAP help towards rent payment? And also she's not in the best of health her doctor has decided to declare her disabled and wants her to claim disability like any other disabled person.
However, I'm of the opinion that it could potentially go against her when it comes to applying for citizenship.
Can anyone please shed some light on what affect taking state benefits ( specifically disability & HAP) could this have if any on her citizenship application?
Thanks a Million.

Another forum member mentioned means tested benefits might reflect negatively:

eg Disability allowance, which is one:

DA is a means-tested payment.

I don't know the source of this, so can neither confirm nor deny, but best to err on the side of caution.
