Question:

283. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Social Protection the date until which persons must be in receipt of invalidity pension in order to qualify for the one-off payment; if persons who reach the age of 66 years and are transferred to a State pension in November still qualify for the one-off payment; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

The specific details of when the cost of Living double payment and the lump-sum Disability Support Grant of €500 will be paid to, amongst others, persons in receipt of Invalidity Pension are being finalised, together with details of other payments provided for in the recent Budget and will be announced early next week.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
