Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2016
347. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will expedite an application for a disability allowance in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37590/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThis lady has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 5 October 2016. The first payment will be made by her chosen payment method on 30 November 2016.
Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of any overlapping payments or in respect of outstanding overpayments (if applicable).
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
