Disability Allowance is a weekly allowance paid to people with a specified disability who are aged 16 or over and under age 66. This disability must be expected to last for at least one year and is subject to a medical examination, a means test and a habitual residence test.

To date no application for disability allowance has been received from the person concerned.

An application form has been forwarded to the person and his entitlement will be examined when the completed application is received.
