The person in question is in receipt of the maximum rate of disability allowance for his circumstances. The person in question owes a debt to the department which he is currently repaying at the rate of €10.00 per week. If he wishes to vary the amount that is currently being repaid, he should contact the department setting out his weekly income and expenditure. On receipt of this report, his rate of repayment will be reviewed. However, it should be noted that if the weekly rate of repayment is reduced, it will take longer for the debt to be repaid.
