Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 November 2019
1036. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if a person (details supplied) is entitled to a hearing aid under the treatment benefit scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [44371/19]
View answerThe person concerned is qualified for treatment benefits and will be entitled to a grant contribution towards the cost of hearing aids. She will receive a letter within the next few days advising her of the position and confirming her eligibility for medical appliance (hearing aid) benefit.
The Audiologist can claim the grant payment directly on-line once the hearing aids have been provided.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
