A claim was received from the person concerned on the 3rd of September, 2020. A Natural Justice letter has issued to the current child benefit recipient; this letter requires a response within 21 days to enable the Department make a decision on entitlement in this case. Depending on the response to this letter, it may also be necessary to make some further enquiries before a decision can be finalised.
In any event, the Department will make a decision as soon as possible and will communicate this in writing to the person concerned.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
