Following a review of the disability allowance (DA) payment to the person concerned, an increase has been awarded with effect from 18 May 2016. First payment of the new rate will be on 25 May 2016. Notification of this decision issued to the person in question.
The supplementary welfare allowance (SWA) rate being paid to the person in question’s spouse has also been reviewed. This review resulted in an increase from 18 May 2016, to reflect the change in the household income.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
