Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 November 2016
89. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application for a disability allowance in respect of a person (detail supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37815/16]
View answerThis man has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 5 October 2016. The first payment will be made by his chosen payment method on 4 January 2017.
Arrears of 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 trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
