1129. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress to date in determination of an application for exceptional needs payment in the case of a person (details supplied) who recently submitted an application for assistance with the purchase of white goods; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43044/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraDepartmental records show that an ENP application was received in my Department for the person concerned on 04/08/22 requesting financial assistance with the cost of a washing machine. In line with this application, a letter dated 24/08/22 issued by post to the person requesting further documents/information in order to progress her application.
This was followed up with a phone call from the Designated Person on 01/09/22, to the person concerned, outlining the application process and clarifying the documentation required in order to assess the ENP application.
On receipt of the requested documentation, the ENP application will be assessed, and the person concerned will be advised of the outcome in writing.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
