Question:

1608. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when payment will issue to a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1028/18]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection

This lady was notified on the 4th January 2018 that her domiciliary care allowance was awarded on appeal from the 1st March 2017. Arrears due for this period will issue with the January 2018 payment on the 16th January 2018.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
