Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 March 2012
253 Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason a person (details supplied) returning from Spain has been advised under the habitual residence conditions that their main centre of interest is not in this country. [13585/12]
View answerThe person concerned applied for Jobseeker's allowance on 16th November 2011. Based on the information supplied by the applicant, it was decided that he did not satisfy the Habitual Residence Condition. The deciding officer in this case has decided that the person's future intentions to remain in the State are short-term.
If the person is not satisfied with the decision of the deciding officer, more documentary evidence or information that would be relevant to the case can be sent to the Department and the initial decision will be reviewed by a deciding officer.
The decision can also be appealed to the Social Welfare Appeals Office.
254 Deputy Eric Byrne asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will confirm when backdated moneys will be paid to a person (details supplied); and if she will expedite the matter. [13610/12]
View answerOn receipt of documentation requested from the person concerned any arrears due to her will be paid.
