Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

This man has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 5 July 2017. The first payment will be made by his chosen payment method on 12 July 2017.

Arrears of payment will issue by cheque in the next few days.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
