Question:

325. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Social Protection if arrears due from a disability allowance claim will issue to a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39954/16]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

This lady was in receipt of another social welfare payment during the period 10 August 2016 to 22 November 2016. Consequently, the amount of social welfare already paid required calculation and was deducted from any arrears due. This process was completed by my department as quickly as possible. Disability allowance arrears issued to the person in question on 7 December 2016.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
