Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 May 2020
1025. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if she will review the decision in relation to an application for disability allowance by a person (details supplied); and if the request for a review will be expedited. [8241/20]
View answerFollowing a review of the entitlement of this gentleman, it was found that he had a decrease in his means from his original assessment. Based on the information available to my department, an increased rate of disability allowance (DA) was awarded with effect from 16 October 2019.
A letter issued to this gentleman informing him of this on 25 May 2020. Arrears of payment due have also issued to the person concerned.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
