As outlined in Parliamentary Question No. 922 on 15 June 2021, the person concerned submitted an application for a Supplementary Welfare Allowance (SWA) payment with effect from 11/2/2021.  He received a SWA payment for the period 11/2/2021 to 26/5/2021 pending the provision of a letter from Kildare County Council confirming his address, as he stated he was residing in a property owned by the Council.  The person concerned was given notice in writing that he would be paid for 12 weeks pending receipt of the letter from the Council.

The person concerned failed to produce the requested documentation.  He subsequently informed officials he was living at 2 different addresses and in his car but that it was his intention to move to Rathfarnham to reside with his spouse. 

The person concerned should make contact with his local Community Welfare Service in Maynooth as soon as possible so that his current needs and circumstances can be fully established.  The Community Welfare Service can be contacted by phone at (01) 6106143 or by email to KildarenorthCWS@welfare.ie.  If the person concerned has moved to Rathfarnham, he should contact (01) 6732000 (option 7) or email CWSNutgrove@welfare.ie.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
