1049. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 642 of 4 December 2018, if a case (details supplied) will be examined with a view to early payment; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54125/18]

The person concerned has met with a Community Welfare Officer (CWO). Due to a change in their circumstances, they have made a new application for Basic Supplementary Welfare Allowance (SWA). The CWO has received a letter from Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) confirming the person concerned is not eligible for a student grant.

The CWO has advised the person concerned to reapply for Jobseekers Allowance (JA) and this claim will be processed when it is received.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
