Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 July 2020
623. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if a supplementary welfare payment can be made while awaiting the result of an appeal for an invalidity pension in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18894/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn officer of my Department has contacted the person concerned and advised her regarding suitable supports. The person concerned declined to submit an application for Supplementary Welfare Allowance at this time but was assured that she could contact the Community Welfare Service in the future to seek advice/assistance if her circumstances necessitate this.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
