The Treatment Benefit scheme provides for a free annual dental examination and an annual scale and polish treatment, subject to a maximum co-payment of €15.

Based on the available information, the person concerned will qualify for Treatment Benefit as a dependent spouse on her spouse's PRSI record.

In order for a formal approval of eligibility to issue to her dentist, she should complete and return a signed DE2 form to the Treatment Benefit Section of the Department in Letterkenny. The relevant form has issued to her home address for completion.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
