Questions (1066)

Bernard Durkan

Question:

1066. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if an increased payment can be approved in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8398/20]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Finian McGrath)

Following a successful appeal the person concerned was awarded a reduced rate of disability allowance (DA) with effect from 11 November 2015.

 A review can be requested by the person concerned by writing directly to the DA section outlining the reasons for the request.  On submission of this request this lady's means will be re-examined. 

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
