Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 January 2021
521. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application by a person (details supplied) for supplementary welfare allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4251/21]
View answerMy officials have advised an application for a Supplementary Welfare Allowance payment submitted by the person concerned has been awarded with effect from 07/01/2021.
The person concerned has been certified medically unfit to work until 05/02/21 but is not eligible for an Illness Benefit payment due to insufficient contributions paid.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
