Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 April 2016
31. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection when she will approve an application by, and issue the payment to, a person (details supplied) in County Mayo under the family income supplement scheme. [5593/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for family income supplement (FIS) was made by the person concerned, but was disallowed on the grounds that the net weekly assessable earnings exceeded the prescribed income level for the number of people in the family. Following additional information being provided by the claimant regarding additional eligible children attending full time education, the FIS file has been sent to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for further investigation. Once the SWI has returned the completed report, a review of the FIS claim will be undertaken.
