I propose to take Question Nos. 670 and 717 together.

The person concerned applied for one parent family payment from 30th September 2010. Her claim was disallowed on the grounds that she is not considered to be habitually resident in the state.

The Health Service Executive has advised that payment of rent supplement has been suspended in this case since September 2010 as it has been unable to establish the household composition for this case.

The HSE has further advised that it now expects to be in a position to make a revised decision in relation to her entitlement shortly.
