Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

Following a successful appeal, payment of disability allowance has been re-instated with effect from 11 January 2017. The first payment will be made by his chosen payment method on 28 June 2017. All arrears due will also issue on that date.

I trust this clarifies the matter for you.

Question No. 258 withdrawn.
