Ceist:

I confirm this gentleman is in receipt of his full entitlement regarding his disability allowance. A person who is in receipt of disability allowance will automatically qualify for the free travel pass. There may be an entitlement to the household benefit package.

The person concerned is advised to contact their local citizens information centre who will advise them if there are any other forms of assistance appropriate to their specific circumstances.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
