Is the back-to-work family dividend due to expire this year? In regard to control measures, can the Minister indicate the amount recovered for the last measurable period, which I presume is 2018, in terms of overpayments and the amount of that attributable to direct fraud?

I note there has been an increase of approximately 6,000 in the number of people in receipt of validity pension. Invalidity pension has been extended to the self-employed. What percentage of the overall payment of invalidity pensions is attributable to the self-employed? In other words, how many self-employed people have applied for and been granted the invalidity pension?
