Social Welfare Payments

============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

I reiterate the Department has carried out numerous reviews of policies surrounding means-tested schemes over the past year and the Deputy has given me a list of suggestions. In line with a commitment in the programme for Government and the rural development policy, a review of the means assessment disregards for the farm assist has been completed and a key recommendation from the review was to extend the list of agri-environmental schemes that qualify for a disregard. We have made some changes and will continue to look at these issues and do whatever we can to assist.
