The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available within my Department. I can, however, provide the Deputy with data in relation to approvals and refusals for all claims made by customers in the Social Welfare Local and Branch Offices in county Mayo. I have attached a table which breaks down the approvals and refusals by scheme type. I am unable to provide a detailed breakdown of reasons for refusals. The information is outlined in the following tables. Approvals & Refusals by Scheme type for period 1 January 2010 to 30 September 2010
