In addition to the lump sum payment, the person referred to, along with every other eligible applicant to the scheme, is entitled to a top up payment to bring their weekly income from the State to €230.30 if aged 66 or over and €100 if under that age.

I have been informed that this will be in place by the middle of this year but payments will be backdated to 1st August 2013 so the women will not be at a loss.
