Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

General Scheme of Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2017: Discussion

10:00 am

Ms Kathleen Stack:

The campaign has happened at this stage. Up until Monday of this week we have 3,681 reports received. Last year we had 2,289. There has been an increase. We are working through those reports at the moment. Roughly 40% of them relate to claims of people working and claiming. We will be working through and referring appropriate cases in time the appropriate scheme areas for follow up action.

There are a number of other issues but they were the main ones that I picked up on.
