I propose to take Questions Nos. 440 and 441 together.

The person concerned has been in receipt of a back to education allowance since September 2005. His weekly rate of payment is €371.10. This includes an increase of €123.30 for a qualified adult allowance and €44.00 for child allowance in respect of two qualifying children. The person concerned was sent an application form to claim for an additional qualified child allowance on 30 August 2006. Another application form for a qualified child allowance was issued on 28 March 2007. When the completed form is received the application will be processed as soon as possible and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.
