Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 July 2016
135. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application by a person (details supplied) under the family income supplement scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20110/16]
View answerA claim for Family Income Supplement (FIS) was made by the person concerned on 17th June 2016.
My department has assessed the family income in this case, based upon the evidence available, and has decided that the assessable family income exceeds the prescribed income limit for the relevant family size. Therefore, the claim for FIS has been disallowed and the person in question was notified on 3 July 2016 of this decision, the reasons for it and of their right of review and appeal.
I know that you have been in contact with staff in my office who are looking into this query for you. They will reply once they are in a position to do so.
