Written answers

Following a review of the entitlement of the person concerned, it was found that she had a decrease in her means from 3 February 2021. Based on the information provided to my Department, a maximum rate of disability allowance (DA) was awarded from that date.

A letter issued to the person concerned informing them of this on 13 April 2021. Their first payment at maximum rate will be made on 21 April 2021. Arrears of payment due have issued to the person concerned.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
