John O'Leary
Ceist:176 Mr. O'Leary asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will have arrangements made to approve the dental benefit claim lodged some time ago by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry in view of the fact that his Department failed to continue to post out claim forms to her to enable her to continue to sign for credits during the period 6 April 1987 to 9 March 1992 which gave her the impression that credits were assigned to her over this period; if he will direct that the credits over this period be assigned to her and her application for dental benefit granted; and if he will outline the reason his Department failed to continue to send the credit forms to this person to enable her to sign on on a regular weekly basis.
