Committee on Disability Matters
Access to Work for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Marie Killeen:
I will comment on the impactful point raised by Ms Kearns. A cost-of-disability payment has to be implemented. There is no question about that. The disability allowance should not be means tested. I do not know of a single person in receipt of the disability allowance who does not deserve it. It absolutely should not be means tested.
