154. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection in view of concerns by post offices, if her Department has reviewed application forms for Department payments and updated them to ensure that a more neutral wording in relation to payment options is provided; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

My Department updates and reviews its application forms on a regular basis, to take account of evolving requirements. Recently revised application forms reflect a more neutral wording of the payment options section of the forms. The revised forms have been distributed and are also available on the Department’s website .
