Tom Neville

Question:

544. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Social Protection when a payment will issue to a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41073/16]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection (Deputy Finian McGrath)

I confirm that my Department was notified by the Social Welfare Appeals Office on the 19 December 2016 that the appeal for this lady was upheld and was deemed to be medically suitable for the scheme.

Her file has been passed to a deciding officer to implement the appeals officer's decision and the person concerned will be notified in writing once full entitlement has been established.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
