Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

This lady has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 20 July 2016. The first payment was made by her chosen payment method on 26 October 2016 and arrears due issued to her on 12 November 2016.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
