Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:
They may have fraudulently claimed at a point of time, but they may make a different claim at a different point and be reinstated because they are able to produce different evidence. They may also appeal the decision to cut them off or which determined that they had been fraudulently claiming and the appeals officer may make a different decision. There is this safeguard under social welfare law.
