Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 December 2016
297. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Social Protection the documentation that is outstanding from the review of a dietary supplement which has been suspended in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39602/16]
View answerAs part of an annual review of Diet Allowance payment, requests were issued to the person concerned to submit completed documentation on 8 February 2016 and 2 March 2016. Despite a further request on 7 April 2016 the requested documentation remained outstanding and the Diet Allowance payment was suspended on 21 July 2016.
On 9 December 2016 a letter together with the necessary forms was resent to the person concerned requesting the outstanding documentation. Upon receipt the review can be completed and a decision regarding payment of the Diet Allowance will be made.
I hope that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
