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

The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 14 March 2018. The first payment was made by her chosen payment method on 7 August 2019.

Arrears of payment due issued to this lady on 19 August 2019.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
