Minister for Social Protection

Basic supplementary welfare allowance (SWA) has been refused on the grounds that the person concerned has failed to supply adequate supporting documentation to show that her means are less than the prescribed SWA rate appropriate to her circumstances.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
