Written answers

The person concerned made an application for One-Parent Family Payment (OPFP) on 11th December 2018 and this claim is being processed by my Department.

Pending finalisation of her OPFP claim the person concerned made a claim for a Basic Supplementary Welfare Payment on 13th December 2018 and she is receiving a weekly payment of €177.80 on this scheme.

The person concerned is in receipt of a monthly Child Benefit payment of €140.00 and this payment commenced on the 1st July 2018.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
