Ceist:67 Mr. J. Mitchell asked the Minister for Social Welfare the reason a person (details supplied) in Dublin 8 has not been awarded a living alone allowance or paid any arrears despite repeated representations by her and guarantees from his Department that the allowance and all arrears would be paid; the reason, in recent contact with his Department she was told, contrary to all the replies previously given, that his Department knew nothing of any application for a living alone allowance; when the living alone allowance will be granted; when arrears will be paid; the amount of such arrears; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
