Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 December 2016
119. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if further exceptional needs payment can be offered in the case of persons (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39219/16]
View answerAn application for financial assistance was submitted by one of the persons concerned for floor covering and an exceptional needs payment was awarded and issued on 24 November 2016. There are no further applications pending in this case. It is open to the persons concerned to submit a further application for financial assistance should their circumstances warrant this. For convenience an application form has been sent to the person concerned.
I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
