I am just finishing. This woman was claiming disability allowance. She then took up a FÁS course and was denied the disability allowance. She was also a lone parent. Had she claimed the lone parents allowance, which she did not, she could have kept that payment and taken up the FÁS course. It seems daft to me that because she did not claim the right one she was denied a payment the Department had been paying.
