Other qualified adult allowances are being maintained in line with increases in the relevant personal rates. The increases in these allowances are as follows: €6.70 per week for old age non-contributory pensions where the qualified adult is aged under or over 66 and for contributory pensions where he is aged under 66; €5 per week for invalidity pension where the qualified adult is under 66 and €4 per week for all other qualified adult payments. Proportionate increases will be applied where persons are in receipt of reduced rate QAA payments.
