Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 October 2023
365. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Social Protection if a person (details supplied) has an entitlement to dental benefit based on his or her PRSI contributions; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45004/23]
View answerThe Treatment Benefit Scheme provides dental, optical and aural services to insured workers, the self-employed, retired people and their dependant spouse/partner who have the required number of social insurance (PRSI) contributions.
The person concerned is entitled to treatment benefit based on his PRSI contributions.
A claim was received for the person concerned on 5 October 2023. The Department has made contact with the panelist that submitted the claim.
The submitted claim has been withdrawn. On receipt of a claim submitted correctly, the application will be reviewed again.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
