Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 July 2017
586. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress to date in the determination of eligibility for exceptional needs payment for a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30985/17]
View answerThe person concerned submitted an unsigned Supplementary Welfare Allowance application form to the Department and as this is not a complete application it was returned to the customer on 23 May 2017 with a request for the applicant to sign it and return it to the Department. To date a completed application form has not been received from the person concerned and as such the Department is not in a position to make a decision on the claim.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
