A claim for Guardian's Payment (Non-Contributory) has been received from the person referred to and is being assessed by the Department. As part of this assessment the claim has been referred to a local Social Welfare Inspector in order to establish if the conditions of entitlement are fulfilled. As soon as a report on all relevant issues is received from the local Inspector a decision will be made and notified to the applicant without delay.
