Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection

This lady has had her Living Alone Allowance (LAA) re-instated with effect from 17 January 2018. The first payment will be made to her preferred payment method on 21 March 2018.

Arrears of payment due have issued to the person concerned.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
