A child benefit supplement payment has been awarded to the person concerned for the period 01/05/2018 to 30/06/2019. There is no further entitlement to a supplement from 01/07/2019 as the rate of Polish Family Benefits exceeds the rate of Irish Family Benefits.

A letter regarding this decision has been issued to the person concerned.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
