875. Deputy Marie Sherlock asked the Minister for Social Protection when payments will recommence for a person (details supplied) further to the decision of the chief appeals officer regarding the unlawful disallowing of their claims for jobseeker's allowance and supplementary welfare in 2020, when they will receive the payments unlawfully withheld from them; the reasons for the continued delay in processing the claim; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1177/25]

I wish to confirm that the Jobseeker's Allowance application for the person concerned has been awarded and any arrears due have been calculated.

All arrears payments due, including periods of Fuel Allowance entitlement, Christmas bonus payments, cost of living payments and annual budget changes have been included in the calculation and this payment is being processed this week for issue to the person concerned at the end of the week.
