Written answers

I can confirm that the Department received an application for disability allowance (DA) from the person concerned on 10 January 2023.

The person concerned has been awarded DA with effect from 11 January 2023 and their first payment will be made by their chosen payment method on 22 February 2023.

Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of any overlapping payments. 

The person concerned was notified of this decision in writing on 30 January 2023.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
