554. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if the details of the first payment of a disability allowance for a person (details supplied) will be provided; the arrears due; and when arrears due will issue to the person. [46503/19]

Following a successful appeal, this lady has been awarded disability allowance (DA) with effect from 6 March 2019. The first payment will be made by her chosen payment method on 27 November 2019.

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

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
