Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 July 2018
889. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if an exceptional needs payment will be facilitated in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30836/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application from the person concerned for an exceptional needs payment was refused on the 15/05/18 as their combined income is in excess of the Supplementary Welfare Allowance (SWA) rate for their family size.
There has also been additional lodgements into their account over a two month period, separate to their usual incomes.
A formal written decision was sent to the person concerned, which included information regarding their right to appeal.
I trust that this clarified the matter for the Deputy.
