The office in Sligo said that it did not need the public services card but the post office said it did and would not give the payment to the woman's husband without her having a PSC. The Intreo office did give him a temporary card and, eventually, when he was able to get access to staff, someone visited her home afterwards, but it caused a lot of trouble. She also got a letter to say she was allocated a free travel pass and needed to present at the Intreo office to access that. Everyone's disability is different. In this case the people just felt it was a little insensitive.
