Mr. John McKeon:
There are two types of supplementary welfare payment. There are a whole load of payments but the two main types of payment are what is called the basic supplementary welfare allowance, which is €230 a week for somebody who does not qualify under one of other schemes, and the additional needs payment, for which people can apply online or on paper.
