Question:

661. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application for disability allowance by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1624/17]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

This man has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 10 August 2016. The first payment will be made by his 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.
