Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 June 2019
197. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of a treatment benefit application by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25884/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned has the required number of PRSI contributions paid to qualify for the treatment benefits scheme. As a result she will be entitled to a free optical examination and a contribution towards the cost of Optical appliances. She should contact her Optician who will make the application on her behalf and provide her with the necessary treatment that she requires.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
