To ask the Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 312 of 20 March 2013, if entitlement to arrears in respect of an application for jobseeker's allowance in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare will be re-examined in view of the fact that the reason the applicant did not collect his basic supplementary welfare payments was due to only receiving a letter from her Department dated 5 February informing them that a payment was ready for collection; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
