The person concerned has been awarded a one- parent family allowance payment at the weekly rate of €222.80 with effect from 1 October, 2009. Her first payment and any arrears due will issue shortly. Under Social Welfare legislation decisions in relation to claims must be made by Deciding Officers and Appeals Officers. These officers are statutorily appointed and I have no role in regard to making such decisions.
