Disability Allowance (DA) is a weekly allowance paid to people with a specified disability who are aged 16 or over and under the age of 66. This disability must be expected to last for at least one year and the allowance is subject to a medical assessment, means test and Habitual Residency conditions.
The person concerned is currently in receipt of DA at a reduced rate. The means currently assessed on the claim are derived from her employment income.The information provided by you has been forwarded to the relevant area to carry out a means review of her entitlement. Once the review is complete, the person concerned will be notified in writing of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
