Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 December 2013
277. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Social Protection the reasons a person (details supplied) in Dublin 20 has been denied access to any social welfare payment even though the person is unable to apply for jobseeker's allowance at age 65 while awaiting transition to the contributory old age pension. [52981/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraAccording to the records of this department the person concerned has not made a recent application for a social welfare payment. The person concerned can contact her local social welfare office where a member of staff will be in a position to advise her of the entitlements for a person in her circumstances. A person aged 65 years can apply for the Jobseekers allowance; it is a means tested payment.
