249. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if she will address a matter regarding the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [48407/19]

Following a successful appeal, this gentleman has been awarded disability allowance (DA) with effect from 17 April 2019. The first payment will be made by his chosen payment method on 11 December 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.
