Pay-related benefit earnings inquiry
While earnings inquiries remain incomplete, the Department allowed pay-related benefit of £19.38 weekly based on partial information and is issuing arrears.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare the reason for the delay in paying pay-related benefit to a person (details supplied) in County Waterford.
Comment on this
The reason for the delay in the payment of pay-related benefit to the person concerned is that inquiries to establish his full reckonable earnings during the relevant income tax year, April 1979 to April 1980 have not yet been completed.
However on the basis of information which he furnished at his local office showing part of his earnings during that period, pay-related benefit at the weekly rate of £19.38 has been allowed pending the completion of inquiries.
The person concerned is a postal recipient and an order paying arrears of pay-related benefit is being issued to him this week for encashment at his local post office.
