Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 May 2019
1432. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application for a hearing aid by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [19111/19]
View answerThe person concerned is qualified for treatment benefits and will be entitled to a contribution towards the cost of a hearing aid. An on-line eligibility check was recently undertaken by his Audiologist and eligibility for medical appliance benefit has been confirmed. The Audiologist can claim the payment directly on-line once the hearing aids have been provided.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
