Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 June 2017
278. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will revise a deduction being made on a social welfare payment for a person (details supplied) who has an overpayment owing to her department; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30302/17]
View answerI confirm my department has been in contact with proposals for the recovery of the debt owed to the department. The person concerned should respond to the proposal letter issued to him on 22 June 2017 and supply an income and expenditure statement. On receipt of this information, the deciding officer may revise the deduction.
The person in question is currently in receipt of full rate disability allowance and half rate carers allowance.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
