Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 February 2018
644. Deputy James Browne asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the position regarding an application for disability allowance by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7171/18]
View answerFollowing the submission of further medical evidence by the person concerned, the case has been reviewed and disability allowance awarded with effect from 23 August 2017. The first payment will be made on 14 February 2018.
Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of any overlapping payments.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
