286. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Social Protection the date that the social welfare double payment will be distributed; when the €500 payment for persons with a disability will be made; when the first €200 electricity credit will be applied to bill payers' accounts; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [50804/22]
View answerAs part of the lump sum measures announced in Budget 2023, the scheduled date for the Autumn double payment is the week commencing 17 October 2022. The €500 once off disability support grant payment to people receiving Disability Allowance, Blind Pension and Invalidity Pension is scheduled for the week commencing 14 November 2022.
The electricity credit falls under the remit of the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
