502. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress to date in the determination of an application for supplementary welfare allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34750/20]
View answerThe customer's Basic Supplementary Welfare Allowance application was received by the local Community Welfare Service on August 28th last. On September 18th, the local Community Welfare Service disallowed the application as the Community Welfare Officer was not satisfied that the customer was residing at the stated address, and consequently was not in a position to complete a means test for Supplementary Welfare Allowance purposes.
The customer’s letter of appeal was received by the local Community Welfare Service on October 19th last and was forwarded to the Social Welfare Appeals Office for their attention on the same day. The Social Welfare Appeals Office has confirmed that a decision on the customer's One Parent Family Allowance appeal is due to issue in the very near future
