Bernard Durkan

Question:

144. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the correct level of entitlement and current payment in the case of a person (details supplied); the extent to which a previous alleged overpayment has been discharged; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25133/17]

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

The person concerned is not currently in receipt of a payment from this department and there is no record of a claim having been recently submitted. An overpayment of €331.57 occurred in 2009 and there is currently €158.24 outstanding on this debt.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
