Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2022
532. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the extent to which the correct level of disability allowance has been determined and is payable in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [51923/22]
View answerWhen a person is in receipt of disability allowance (DA) and their child is in full-time education, an increase for qualified child (IQC) will be paid up to 22 years of age or up to the end of the academic year in which he or she reaches 22.
The person concerned was requested to submit confirmation of participation in full-time education in respect of one particular child on 13 September 2022. To date, this has not been received in the Department. On receipt of this information a decision will be made in respect of entitlement to the IQC.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
