Question:443 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if the threshold which applies to the means testing applicable for applicants for disability allowance will be significantly increased, in view of the impact the low threshold which currently applies has on applicants, and in particular whereby substantial outlays on medical expenses are not taken into account, as in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 22; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
