Family Information, Options and Support

You're entitled to more help than you think. We'll help you find out what.

FIOS helps people navigate social welfare, pensions, and workplace entitlements in Ireland. We're plain-spoken, personal, and on your side. Tell us what's going on. A real person reads every submission.

What happens next

Tell us what's happening

A short form, in your own words. No forms within forms, no legal language required.

Read by a professional

Read personally by someone with decades of social welfare experience, not a machine.

We call you

If we can help, we'll explain how and what it costs before anything is booked or charged.

Independent from every state body

We are a customer-focused welfare and social service that works around your specific situation, not a script. We are independent from all state entities, which means we're free to focus on your interests ahead of any department's or organisation's.

We provide a path to follow, so you can use what you learn to get what you're actually entitled to - not what's easiest for the system to give you.

Bíonn gach comhairliúchán faoi rún daingean. Every consultation is strictly confidential.
