Question:50. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Social Protection her views on the anomalous situation whereby a recipient of disability allowance can continue to receive a dependent allowance for a dependent who has exceeded the age of 22 years, by virtue of the fact they are in full time education on the date of their 22nd birthday, however if the dependents birthday happens to fall on a date when the educational facility is in recess that this entitlement does not exist despite the dependent being deemed to still be in full time education as illustrated by a case (details supplied) in County Cork; if she will review this situation; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
