Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
1160. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on the review of the rate of disability allowance being paid to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43698/22]
View answerI can confirm that my Department received correspondence from the person concerned on 09 August 2022, notifying a change of circumstances regarding her disability allowance (DA).
An information request letter was sent to this lady on 31 August 2022 to supply supporting documentation, to determine what household costs may be allowed against a maintenance payment received.
On receipt of this information a means review will be carried out on her DA rate and the person concerned will be notified in writing of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
