Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Labour Activation Measures: Department of Social Protection

Mr. Jim Lynch:

Sometimes the reason indicates something else that the case officer might need to take on board. It may be an issue of having to care for somebody else. The referral in that case might be to carer's allowance and we would suspend intervention until such stage as the person transfers on to the other payment. We need to know the reason. I always suggest that people be open and give us honest reasons.
