The person concerned submitted an application for Supplementary Welfare Allowance to assist with funeral expenses on the 13th of February 2018.

A decision to award the claim was made by the designated person on the 13th of February 2018 and a payment was issued to the person concerned in the amount of €2,500 that day.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
