Diet supplements are paid under the supplementary welfare allowance scheme, which is administered by the Health Service Executive on behalf of my Department. The person concerned recently applied for, and was refused a diet supplement. She has appealed the decision to the Executive's designated Appeals Officer who is examining her appeal. She will be notified of the outcome as soon as possible.
