168. To ask the Minister for Finance if he will review an application under the disabled drivers and disabled passengers (tax concessions) scheme for a person (details supplied) in view of the fact that the term family member is not defined in the legislation governing the scheme. [24033/17]

I am advised by Revenue that the person concerned does not qualify under the Drivers/Passengers with Disabilities Scheme as she is not a family member of the person with the disability and does not reside with that person. In order to qualify under the scheme, the applicant must be a family member who resides with the person with the disability and must be responsible for their care and transportation.
If the person concerned is dissatisfied with Revenue’s decision in relation to her application, she has the option of lodging an appeal under Section 145 & 146 of the Finance Act 2001 by writing to Revenue’s Central Repayments Office, MTEK Building, Armagh Road, Monaghan.
