495. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if multiple claimants in the same household will be eligible for the €500 bonus on the working family payment, invalidity pension, carer’s support grant, disability allowance and the blind pension or if there is a limit on one claimant per household.

In response to the ongoing cost of living pressures, my Department will spend approximately €1.2 billion on a range of lump-sum payments during the coming months to help individuals and families through this difficult period.

I can confirm that the relevant payments will be paid to each eligible recipient in a household.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
