Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2017
2097. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Social Protection if a person (details supplied) is in receipt of all entitlements; and if disability allowance payments qualify the person for further benefits from her Department or any other Department. [28713/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm this gentleman is in receipt of his full entitlement regarding his disability allowance. A person who is in receipt of disability allowance will automatically qualify for the free travel pass. There may be an entitlement to the household benefit package.
The person concerned is advised to contact their local citizens information centre who will advise them if there are any other forms of assistance appropriate to their specific circumstances.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
