Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 February 2019
265. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the extent to which arrears of disability allowance or jobseeker's allowance remain outstanding in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7613/19]
View answerThe person concerned made an application for Jobseekers Allowance (JSA) on the 01st February 2019 and this claim is being processed by my Department. The person concerned has been advised of outstanding documentation & the need to attend the Branch Office in Maynooth to complete the application process.
Attempts to contact the person concerned by a Community Welfare Officer (CWO) have been unsuccessful, and if the Deputy is in contact with the person concerned they should be advised to contact their local CWO.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
