118. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the status of a transfer payment for a person (details supplied) in County Kildare under the one-parent family payment scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4043/16]

The person concerned applied for Jobseeker’s Allowance on 14 January 2016, having exhausted her entitlement to Jobseeker’s Transitional Payment on 13 January 2016. As she failed to provide all necessary information on her initial application, it was necessary to re- issue an additional form. This has now been received and a decision will issue in the coming week.
