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

The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 14 August 2019. The first payment will be made by his chosen payment method on 27 November 2019.

Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of any overlapping payments (if applicable).

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
