The person concerned has not made an application under the treatment benefit scheme. However, she does not fulfil the qualifying conditions for the PRSI-based scheme operated by the Department and as a result is not entitled to a grant towards the cost of a hearing aid. The person concerned may have an entitlement under the medical card scheme operated by the HSE. Her local HSE office will be able to advise her in this regard.
