Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2017
536. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Social Protection when a person (details supplied) who has lodged an appeal against a decision not to grant them a disability allowance will have the appeal decided; the reason for the delay with the appeal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13646/17]
View answerFollowing a successful review, the man has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 16 November 2016. The first payment will be made by his chosen payment method on 5 April 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.
