Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 January 2018
1681. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application for a disability allowance by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1978/18]
View answerFollowing a decision of a Social Welfare Appeals Officer, the person concerned has been awarded disability allowance (DA) with effect from 4 May 2016. The first payment will be made on 31 January 2018.
Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustments are 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.
