2021. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Social Protection if disability allowance application will be approved for a person (details supplied). [57197/26]

I can confirm that my Department received an application for Disability Allowance(DA) from the person concerned on 30 April 2026.

The person concerned has been awarded DA with effect from 06 May 2026 and the first payment was made by their chosen payment method on 10 June 2026.

Arrears of payment due from 06 May 2026 to 09 June 2026 have been issued to the person concerned.

I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
