Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Deputy Finian McGrath)

The person concerned is in receipt of the maximum rate of disability allowance (DA) payable for her circumstances.

The rate includes increases for two child dependants. A fuel allowance is also in payment to the person concerned during the fuel season.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
