‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Social Welfare Benefits. Prescribed relative allowance eligibility
Summary
The applicant is not a relative prescribed by regulation, so no prescribed relative allowance is payable.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare if a person (details supplied) in County Galway will be paid a dependent relatives' allowance.
Comment on this
I assume that the Deputy's question refers to a claim for a prescribed relative allowance made in June 1981. The position is that this allowance is payable only to relatives whose relationship to the pensioner for whom care and attention is being provided is prescribed by regulation. The person referred to in the Deputy's question does not come within the category of relative prescribed in the regulation and I regret, therefore, that an allowance is not payable in respect of her.
