125. Deputy Joe Flaherty asked the Minister for Social Protection when recipients of disability benefit will receive their bonus week payment as part of the recently announced cost-of-living supports measures. [56835/22]
View answerThe once-off Autumn Cost of Living Double Payment was paid in the week commencing 17 October 2022 to people in receipt of qualifying payments, including those in receipt of Disablement Benefit.
It was estimated that 13,777 people who are on this payment would benefit from the measure at a cost of €1.2 million.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
