1046. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if a one-parent family allowance payment will be made available in the case of a person (details supplied); if a basic or emergency payment will issue in the interim; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54117/18]

There is no record of receipt of an application for a One Parent Family payment from the person concerned.

An application form has issued to her directly. When the completed application form is received, a decision on her entitlement will be made as quickly as possible.

It is also open to the customer to apply for a basic or emergency payment at her local Intreo Centre.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
