The supplementary welfare allowance scheme is administered on my behalf by the Community Welfare division of the Health Service Executive (HSE). The Dublin/Mid-Leinster Area of the HSE has advised that the person concerned is an asylum seeker in receipt of a direct provision allowance of €19.10 granted to her when she resided at accommodation provided through the Reception and Integration Agency of the Department of Justice Equality and Law Reform.

The HSE has further advised that in view of her moving from direct provision accommodation, the payment of this allowance is currently under review and the Executive will notify the person concerned directly of the position.
