Minister for Social Protection (Deputy Joan Burton)

The community welfare service (CWS), and the community welfare officers providing it, transferred formally to the Department of Social Protection (DSP) from 1 October 2011. The service and the staff are now part of the DSP.

The Department has advised the person in question what information is currently outstanding in order to process his application. The person concerned should contact his local supplementary welfare allowance administrative office if he needs any clarification in relation to the outstanding information requested.
