Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 March 2017
338. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress to date in the determination of application for maternity benefit in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11959/17]
View answerAn application for maternity benefit was received from the person concerned on 22nd Feb 2017 and processed on 3rd March 2017. Further information is required in order to make a decision regarding the claim and she has been contacted in writing requesting this information.
Once the required information is received, her claim will be processed, and a written decision will issue to her.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy. Please do not hesitate to contact Philip in my office if you require any further assistance with this query.
Question No. 339 withdrawn.
