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

Following a successful appeal, this lady has been awarded disability allowance (DA) with effect from 18 April 2018. The first payment was made by her chosen payment method on 20 March 2019.

Arrears of payment due, which include the Christmas Bonus, have issued to the person concerned on 7 May 2019.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
