Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Medical Eligibility Criteria for Social Protection Payments: Discussion

1:00 pm

Ms Catherine Kellaghan:

The medical report on the back of the claim forms is standardised. That is the standard report and that is the report that is paid for. A GP may write another letter or a supporting letter, but GPs would be expected to attach whatever information they have in terms of test results or outcomes of specialist investigations to the form for the same charge. There would be no extra charge.
