Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

This lady has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 6 April 2016. The first payment will be made by her chosen payment method on 1 February 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.
