Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 February 2023
393. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a State pension qualified adult payment application will be reviewed in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6649/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Increase for qualified adult (IQA) is a means-tested payment, payable to State pension (contributory) claimants whose spouse, civil partner or cohabitant is being wholly or mainly maintained by them, and where that qualified adult’s personal means from any source does not exceed a means test income limit.
The Increase for Qualified Adult Allowance was awarded to the person concerned from 01 August 2021 at the current weekly rate of €149.70. The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 10 February 2023.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
