1245. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an appeal for farm assist by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36167/18]

To date, my Department has not received an appeal from the claimant in this case.

Farm Assist is a means-tested payment and, as such, any capital held is assessed as means. Should an appeal be lodged, my Department will look at any matters raised that the claimant considers should be taken into consideration.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
