Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 October 2020
210. Deputy Mick Barry asked the Minister for Social Protection the policy regarding welfare payments for persons with no fixed abode; if claimants are permitted to use An Post’s address point as an address; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30668/20]
View answerMy Department is aware of the Address Point service offered by An Post, which provides a free personal address and mail collection service for persons with no fixed abode.
In relation to welfare payments, the An Post Address Point service can be used as a method of postal contact for a customer, but not as proof of address.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
