The disability allowance payment of the person concerned was suspended on 11 November 2011, as her whereabouts were not known to the Department.

I understand that the person has since returned to Ireland and her disability allowance has been put back in payment from 25 January 2012. She has been informed in writing of this decision and any arrears due to her will issue shortly.
