127. To ask the Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 191 of 10 November 2016, the correct maximum payment due for the entire period in question in view of the family composition in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Further to my response to PQ 191 of 10 November 2016, I am taking it that the period in question referred to in this question is the period for which the person concerned was overpaid supplementary welfare allowance. That period is 5 August 2010 to 21 November 2011.

The lady in question was paid carer's allowance at the weekly rate of €301.40 during this period. This was the maximum personal rate payable to a person caring for one care recipient with an increase for three qualified children.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
