Amharc ar fhreagraWhen a person is in receipt of disability allowance (DA) and their child is in full-time education, an increase for qualified child (IQC) will be paid up to 22 years of age or up to the end of the academic year in which he or she reaches 22.
The person concerned was requested to submit confirmation of participation in full-time education in respect of his son. The IQC rate has been re-instated on his DA with effect from 1 July 2020 and his first payment will be on 21 October 2020. He was informed in writing of this decision on 14 October 2020.
Arrears of allowance due have issued to the person concerned.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
