Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 October 2021
234. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if the amount awarded through the exceptional needs payment could be increased in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [51753/21]
View answerThe person concerned was recently awarded 2 Exceptional Needs Payments of €1,000 and €525 for white goods and flooring respectively.
The application was assessed in line with current legislation and the rules governing social assistance entitlements. If the person concerned is not satisfied with the decision of the designated officer it remains open to her to request a review of her case by the SWA Review Officer, Department of Social Protection, 77 Upper Gardiner Street, Dublin 1.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
