I ask Mr. McKeon to send us a note on that so that we can have it on our records, rather than just approximate figures off the top of the head. There is not a Deputy in this House who does not know of cases where further information is supplied to the appeals office that might not have been supplied to the Department at an earlier date. This is often due to...

If I am picking it up and Ms Stack tells me they have done work on it, there might be a connection. Some people do not get it from the beginning because maybe the Department is more exact now in its assessments, knowing that it is a high-risk allowance. That is as it should be, I am...

He or she was too frugal and got caught out. Mr. McKeon spoke about dental benefit and optical benefit in the context of the online applications. That is largely because it is done through...

It has not hit the consciousness of many of the Department's people yet. Paragraph 12.18 of the survey on regularity of social welfare payments states: "The survey found that 94% of incorrect payments were because the claimant’s means were not correctly...

Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) Seán Fleming: Therefore, something has been done. Now that I am mentioning benefits and PRSI contributions, what is the current position on the people, the majority of whom were women, who left work for family reasons and had their PRSI records re-examined for family leave to determine whether they could receive the higher pension payment? How close is the Department to ending that process?
