467. Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor asked the Minister for Social Protection the estimated full -ear cost of increasing the maximum rate of disability allowance to €228.50 per week; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8259/23]
View answerThe estimated full year cost to increase Disability Allowance to €228.50 per week is €74.4 million.
This costing is based on the estimated number of recipients in 2023 and is subject to change in the context of emerging trends and associated revision of the estimated numbers of recipients.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
