249. To ask the Minister for Social Protection the reason a person (details supplied) in County Donegal was refused an exceptional needs payment to purchase special equipment for a child with cerebral palsy; if this decision will be reconsidered in the event that supporting medical evidence is provided; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to advise the Deputy that the person concerned was not refused an exceptional needs payment in respect of special equipment for a child with cerebral palsy.
An application for an Exceptional Needs Payment was made on 29 June 2017 and a decision is expected to be taken this week, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I trust that this clarifies the matter.
