When dealing with a previous question, we spoke about the fact that people who have disabilities are at much greater risk of poverty. Right now, the Minister's Department has taken the living alone allowance off people on partial capacity benefit. That is absolutely appalling. It is not a very great number of people and not a very great amount of money but, for those people, the decision arrived at by the Minister's Department means a loss of between €44 and €88 a month.
