Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 November 2018
1060. Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the reason a person (details supplied) will have to wait for payment of arrears in relation to an application for disability allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45036/18]
View answerFollowing an appeal to the Social Welfare Appeals Office, the person concerned has been awarded disability allowance (DA) with effect from 22 November 2017.
The first payment was made by their chosen payment method on 17 October 2018.
The person concerned was in receipt of another social welfare payment from 22 November 2017 to 16 October 2018. The amount paid during this period has been deducted from the DA arrears and the arrears due issued to them on 26 October 2018.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
