Minister for Social Protection

The Cost of Living Disability Support Grant of €500 will be made to those currently on a Disability Payment (Disability Allowance, Invalidity Pension & Blind Pension)

The person concerned is not in receipt of disability allowance (DA) as they are in receipt of state pension non contributory

As the person concerned is not in receipt of a qualifying payment, they will not be eligible for this grant

I trust this clarifies the position.
