129. Deputy Kieran O'Donnell asked the Minister for Social Protection if a disability allowance for a person (details supplied) will be reviewed. [6209/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraA review was carried out on the means of the person concerned and they were awarded an increased rate of disability allowance (DA) with effect from 13 May 2020. A letter informing them of this decision issued to them on 28 May 2020.
A further review of the entitlement of the person concerned was carried out on 1 February 2021 and it was found that she had an increase in her means from her previous assessment. Based on the information provided to my Department, a reduced rate of DA was awarded effective from 10 February 2021.
Notification of this decision issued to the person concerned. They were also notified of their right to request a review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO).
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
