Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 July 2015
83. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection if and when a relevant payment under the one-parent family payment scheme may be restored to a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29975/15]
View answerThe person concerned applied for one parent family (OPF) payment on 02/04/2015. The application was subsequently disallowed as she was deemed to have failed to disclose her means. The person concerned appealed this decision to the Social Welfare Appeals Office and her appeal is pending at present. It is open to the person concerned to apply to her local Community Welfare Service for assistance in the interim if the need exists.
