Question:

1038. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an appeal by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54045/18]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection

The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 28 March 2018, as a result of further medical evidence which she submitted to the Department. The first payment will be made by her chosen payment method on 16 January 2019.

Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
