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

The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance (DA) with effect from 26 September 2018 as they are currently in receipt of another social welfare payment at a higher rate than their DA entitlement. The first payment will be made by their chosen payment method on 26 September 2018 .

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
