162. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the status of a mortgage interest supplement for a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40461/15]

The client was in receipt of Mortgage Interest Supplement from December 2008 to February 2015. In order to enable his case to be reviewed, he was asked to supply documentation regarding his mortgage in March 2015. Further requests for this information issued on 16th April 2015, 11th May 2015, 22nd May 2015 and 24th June 2015.

As the client did not respond to the requests for information, his claim could no longer remain in payment.
