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

Following a successful appeal, this gentleman has been awarded disability allowance (DA) with effect from 11 July 2018, when he sent in his application.

The first payment will be made by his chosen payment method on 27 February 2019. Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
