Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 June 2016
139. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if an application form in respect of a claim for child benefit has been received from a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19029/16]
View answerI can confirm that an application for child benefit has been received from the person concerned. This claim has now been awarded and all arrears due for the period January 2014 to June 2016 will issue by cheque to her home address in the coming days. Payment for July will be available for collection at the nominated Post Office from Tuesday the 5th of July.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
