Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
General Scheme of the Social Welfare (Child Maintenance and Liable Relatives) Bill 2023: Discussion
Mr. R?n?n Hession:
It is a good question. Normally, on a lot of our schemes, and we can check this and confirm it for the Deputy, there is a late claims provision. It depends on the circumstances but a person can claim up to six months late. For example, if someone has a disability claim or an illness claim and does not claim immediately, there is normally a look back. In terms of how this would work, is the Deputy talking about it from a means point of view?
