The community welfare service and the community welfare officers providing it, transferred formally to the Department of Social Protection from 1 October 2011. The service and staff are now part of the Department. The factual position is that there is no current claim for supplementary welfare allowance in respect of the person concerned. The person concerned should contact the Department's local representative who is administering the supplementary welfare allowance scheme if he wishes to have his entitlement examined.
