152. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will review the case of a person (details supplied) whose current payments of carer's allowance involve a deduction of €30 weekly in respect of a previous alleged overpayment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22601/17]
View answerThe Department has initiated a review of the weekly deduction in place in respect of this person's overpayment and correspondence has issued to the person concerned.
The Department has suspended the weekly deduction for 21 days, pending receipt of the requested information.
On receipt of this information, the department will determine the level of deduction to be applied in this case.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
