Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 May 2020
946. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the reason a person (details supplied) in County Kildare has had their award of disability allowance reduced; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7468/20]
View answerFollowing a review of the entitlement of this lady, it was found that she had a decrease in her means from her previous assessment. Based on the information provided to my department, a maximum rate of disability allowance (DA) was awarded with effect from 22 January 2020.
A letter issued to this lady informing her of this on 19 May 2020. Arrears of payment due have also issued to the person concerned.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
