This week, my Department will issue a once-off Cost of Living Lump Sum payment of €400 to recipients of Disability Allowance, Invalidity Pension and the Blind Pension.
Based on current recipient numbers, this means that the payment will be made to 219,461 people.
This figure is an estimate and may change as new applications are received and claims are closed.
The breakdown by county of this estimated number of recipients of the once-off payment is shown in Table 1 below.
