Family win fight to access son’s benefits
Jim Hyland, from Ballincollig, Co Cork, took the HSE to court to gain control of his 37-year-old son’s money so he could use it for his son’s benefit, rather than allow it to sit indefinitely in a central fund controlled by the HSE.
The money was owed to Colin Hyland under the Health Repayment Scheme 2006, which made amends for the illegal overcharging of long-stay residents in state-funded services.
