A means review of the Disability Allowance in payment to the person concerned commenced in May 2023.
As part of the review, employment returns made to the Office of the Revenue Commissioners under their PPS Number were examined. In this case, payments from a Pension Scheme were showing as being paid under the PPS number. The person concerned was contacted to confirm if they were receiving this income. The person concerned advised that they were not in receipt of any income and that they had contacted the Office of the Revenue Commissioners and had received confirmation that an error had occurred on their systems in that income relating to another person was showing under the PPS number of the person concerned.
My Department has accepted this outcome and advised the person concerned to follow up with the Office of the Revenue Commissioners to have their records corrected.
I wish to confirm that the Disability Allowance payment to the concerned person was not interrupted during this review and that they continue to receive their payment, in full, each week.
The person concerned was advised of the outcome of this review by letter dated 20th July 2023.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
