The granting of disabled person's maintenance allowance in any particular case is a matter for determination by the health board concerned having regard to all the circumstances of the case.
I have had inquiries made from the Eastern Health Board in this case and I have been informed that payment of the allowance was discontinued with effect from week commencing 8 January 1988 as the person was already in a position to derive an income from the compensation awarded.
