Following a review of the entitlement of the person concerned, her claim was suspended as she failed to supply the information required in order to assess her entitlement.

Following the submission of this information by the person concerned, their case has been reviewed and their disability allowance (DA) has been re-instated with effect from 7 October 2020. The first payment will be made on 13 January 2021.

Arrears of payment due have been calculated and will issue to the person concerned with the first weekly payment.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
