Question:

653. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when payment will issue in respect of a recent allowed appeal for a disability allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27839/19]

Written answers

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 11 July 2018. The first payment will be made by her chosen payment method on 17 July 2019.

Arrears of payment due, will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of any overlapping payments.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
