Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 September 2021
494. Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of working family payments that were referred to social welfare inspectors for further investigation or which required further information in each of the years 2018 to 2020, in tabular form; and the number of payments that were disallowed as a result in 2018, 2019 and 2020. [44198/21]
View answerI am advised that data on the number of Working Family Payment (WFP) customers that were referred to Social Welfare Inspectors or which required further information for the years 2018 to 2020 is not collated by the Department. Similarly, data is not collated on the number of disallowed WFP applications following any such referral.
I regret that the Department is not in a position to provide the information sought by the Deputy in this instance.
