Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 September 2022
259. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if and when favourable consideration will be given for disability allowance in the case of a person (details supplied) who suffers from MS; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45366/22]
View answerI can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance (DA) from this person on 10 August 2022.
The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 10 August 2022. The first payment will be made by her chosen payment method on 05 October 2022.
Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of any overlapping payments.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
