A cheque was received as repayment towards an outstanding debt from a representative of the person concerned and was lodged to the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (DEASP) debt recovery system on 24 April 2018. A receipt issued to the person concerned informing them a refund of €104.40 was due as they had exceeded the amount owed by this amount. An EFT Payment Authorisation Form was enclosed in order to refund the amount due and when this form is received, payment will issue to the person concerned without delay.

The person concerned will receive their full weekly DEASP claim entitlement from 27 April 2018.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
