Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 September 2016
702. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the position or procedure to be followed by a person (details supplied) whose One Parent Family Payment is due to cease on 24 August, 2016; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24915/16]
View answerThe entitlement to a one-parent family payment (OFP) in the case of the person concerned ceased with effect from 25 August 2016 due to age related budgetary changes. Upon cessation of this payment a review of her family income supplement (FIS) entitlement was undertaken, and her FIS payment increased to €125 a week with effect from 25 August 2016.
The person concerned may also have an entitlement to a back to work family dividend (BTWFD) payment. An application form for a BTWFD has been posted to the person concerned.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
