Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 December 2023
471. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on an application for child benefit by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54686/23]
View answerChild Benefit is a monthly payment to the parents or guardians of children under 16 years of age. Child Benefit can also be claimed for children aged 16 and 17, if they are in full-time education or full-time training or have a disability and cannot support themselves.
The claim from the person concerned was received on 30 November 2023. The form has been returned for completion, as it had not been fully completed by the customer. On return of the form, it will be reviewed and a decision made on entitlement.
I trust this clarifies the position.
