The person concerned is qualified for treatment benefits and will be entitled to a contribution towards the cost of a hearing aid. An application form for this benefit has not yet been received from him, but can be obtained from any audiologist.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy. If you require any further assistance on this query please do not hesitate to contact my office.
