Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 January 2014
427. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress to date in determination of a review in respect of one-parent family allowance in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4173/14]
View answerThe person concerned was previously in receipt of a one-parent family payment. An annual review form was issued to her on 11th November 2013 for completion, however, the form was not returned. On 2nd December 2013 her payment was suspended and as she did not make any contact with her local office, her claim was subsequently closed on 17th December 2013. The person concerned submitted a new application for a one-parent family payment on 7th January 2014. In the meantime, while her application is being processed, she has been awarded a weekly supplementary welfare allowance payment.
