44. Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the options available in respect of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 14, who has given up a part-time job because her one parent family payments are under review. [23969/15]

All claims for one parent family payment (OPFP) are subject to periodical review on an ongoing basis in order to ensure that the payment is being made in accordance with the relevant social welfare legislation governing the scheme.

In this regard a review was carried out on the OPFP claim of the person concerned specifically to clarify the position with regard to the living arrangement of a liable relative. This required visits by Social Welfare Inspectors to both the person concerned and her liable relative to establish and clarify the situation. This has been done following the review and no payments of OPFP were delayed or interrupted as a result of this process taking place and her payment is continuing.
