Vol. 398 No. 3
35 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Welfare when investigations will be completed to enable full entitlements in respect of disability benefit contributions in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
At the request of the person concerned investigations were initiated into the insurability of her employment during the period May 1988 to June 1989.
The investigations currently being carried out by a social welfare officer are near completion. However, the results of this investigation will not affect her entitlement to disability benefit which she claimed for the period from 4 September 1989 to 25 December 1989.
Entitlement to disability benefit for the period claimed is based on the 1987-88 contribution year and the person concerned had no contributions paid or credited in that year.
