Except in certain exceptional circumstances, disability allowance (DA) is not payable for any period in respect of which the claimant is resident outside of the State. In all circumstances, disability allowance recipients must inform the Department that they are intending to leave the State.
For control reasons, the Department has decided that the appropriate payment method for the person concerned is collection at his nearest Post Office. The person in question has appointed an agent to collect payments on his behalf.
The Department is aware of the person’s desire to have their payment made by electronic fund transfer to their bank account and is keeping the matter under review.
