Community Welfare Service: Department of Social Protection
Mr. Des Henry:
The percentage of claims that were disallowed to date this year is running at between 9% and 11%. That equates, for this year, to roughly 15,000 applications out of the total of over 135,000 applications received up to the end of November. Approximately 11% of applications would have been refused.
