Question:

434. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application by a person (details supplied) for a qualified adult payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22297/16]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

The person concerned has been awarded an increase for a qualified adult (QA) on his disability allowance claim from 22 July 2015. The first payment will issue by his selected payment method on 27 July 2016.

Arrears of the payment due will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of any overlapping payments or in respect of outstanding overpayments (if applicable).

I hope that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
