I raise the question because I heard a debate on radio about this where the individual contacted the office and complained that he did not get much help. I am not saying that it is the case generally because it is not. Then he wanted to pay by cash as that is how he gets paid. He is not advanced in technology and does not know how to do it. There must be some way the office can arrange for that type of payment for people who are either elderly or simply living a different lifestyle and do not want or cannot pay in the way suggested. They want to pay and want their assessment. There are a number of people who have not received the assessment and who have not got the means to pay as outlined by Ms Feehily open to them.
