Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 January 2010
134 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if her attention has been drawn to the fact that all required or requested documentation has already been furnished in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; when payment of one parent family allowance will issue; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4422/10]
View answerThe person concerned claimed one parent family payment from 21 May 2009. His claim was disallowed on 11 September 2009 as he failed to disclose his means. He lodged an appeal on 30 September 2009 and his file was sent to an inspector for a review of his case. All documentation requested by the inspector has not yet been furnished by the person concerned. The person concerned is currently in receipt of supplementary welfare allowance. The community welfare officer was contacted on 19 January 2010 and has advised that the person concerned agreed to furnish a letter confirming that he is not receiving any income from self-employment. The social welfare inspector made further contact with the community welfare officer on 26 January 2010 and the community welfare officer has confirmed that the documentation has not been received to date.
