The person concerned requested a review of his rate of disability allowance (DA) which was already in payment at a reduced rate. Following a revised decision he has now been awarded an increase in his DA payment, with effect from 28 May 2014, to €188.00 per week which is the maximum weekly rate for a single person. Arrears of payment due will issue in the next few days to his nominated bank account.

Additional resources have been allocated to the DA scheme.
