Bernard Durkan

Ceist:

162. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 312 of 20 March 2013, if entitlement to arrears in respect of an application for jobseeker's allowance in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare will be re-examined in view of the fact that the reason the applicant did not collect his basic supplementary welfare payments was due to only receiving a letter from her Department dated 5 February informing them that a payment was ready for collection; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15428/13]

The person concerned collected his first basic supplementary payment on 21 December 2012 covering the period 18 December 2012 to 2 January 2013 but he did not collect the following four payments.

Entitlement to arrears of jobseekers allowance will be re-examined when the person concerned attends the social welfare local office to explain why he did not collect the weekly basic supplementary welfare payments covering the period 3 January 2013 to 30 January 2013.
