136. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the outcome of the review in respect of a one-parent family payment in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36476/14]
View answerThe entitlement to the one parent family payment of the person concerned ceased on 2 July 2014 as her youngest child was over the age of 10 years. A review of this decision has been undertaken and it is confirmed that there is no entitlement to the one parent family payment. The person concerned is working and also in receipt of family income supplement. The FIS weekly rate of payment has increased following the closure of the one parent family payment.
