Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2022
503. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Minister for Social Protection if an application by a person (details supplied) for a disability allowance will be expedited due to extenuating circumstances in the case. [49760/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 07 September 2022. The first payment will be made by her chosen payment method on 26 October 2022
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).
Based on the information provided to the Department, the person concerned does not meet the requirements to qualify for fuel allowance as their household includes people who are not in receipt of a qualifying payment
The person concerned was notified of these decisions in writing on 06 October 2022
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
