I have taken note of the Senator's concerns and will bring them back to the Minister of State, Deputy Jim Daly. I remind the Senator that I mentioned in my initial response that a supplementary travel benefit can be made available to people who find themselves under considerable stress because of the circumstances of their illness. Perhaps it might be possible for the Senator to look into that matter on behalf of the lady in question who may be able to avail of the supplementary travel allowance while she is waiting to hear back on her application for disability allowance.
