To be eligible for VTOS a person must be in receipt of a specified payment from the Department of Social and Family Affairs. A dependent spouse of someone in receipt of such a payment may also apply to join a VTOS programme. Payments other than those already recognised for this purpose cannot be deemed to meet the eligibility requirement. Inquiries are being made with the VEC to clarify the position in this case.
