1147 Mr. N. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if he will arrange to thoroughly re-examine an application by a person (details supplied) in County Cork to the Southern Health Service Executive for supplementary welfare allowance in order to meet their additional heating needs; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this application has been refused on appeal and that the applicant has been in very ill health with multiple medical problems for a long number of years and has a supply of oxygen at home at all times which is constantly in use; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that both the applicant and their spouse are dependent on social welfare payments and that they have been refused on the grounds that they are over the income limit and should be able to meet the heating costs themselves; and if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that they have multiple demands on their social welfare payments each week and that the applicant is most genuine and deserving and should not be deprived of this source of financial support.
