Question:

162. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection when an emergency or exceptional needs payment will issue in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19133/17]

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

As per response to PQ Ref 17329-17 an application form for Supplementary Welfare Allowance has been posted to the person concerned. If they wish to apply for an Exceptional Needs Payment they should complete the application form and send it to the CWS in Maynooth where it will be considered.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
