The Treatment Benefit Scheme provides dental, optical and aural services to insured workers, the self-employed, retired people and their dependant spouse/partner who have the required number of social insurance (PRSI) contributions.

The person concerned is entitled to treatment benefit based on his PRSI contributions.

A claim was received for the person concerned on 5 October 2023. The Department has made contact with the panelist that submitted the claim.

The submitted claim has been withdrawn. On receipt of a claim submitted correctly, the application will be reviewed again.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
