Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 November 2022
264. Deputy Kieran O'Donnell asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application for an increase in a disability allowance payment (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [55978/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned has been in receipt of disability allowance (DA) from 1 August 2018. The information requested on 11 October 2022 as part of a means review, to have an increase for a qualified adult (IQA) added to their DA was received on 25 October 2022.
I can confirm that, following a review, the person concerned DA was assessed with nil means from 29 June 2022 to 30 August 2022.
Arrears of payment due from 29 June 2022 to 30 August 2022 issued on 8 November 2022.
In addition, following a review it was found there has been an increase in the means of the person concerned, and therefore their allowance has been reduced from 16 November 2022.
The person concerned was notified in writing of these decisions on 8 November 2022.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
