The person concerned was awarded disability allowance (DA) with effect from 16 April 2015. The first payment issued by her chosen payment method on 13 May 2015.
The person in question was in receipt of another social welfare payment during the period 16 April 2015 to 12 May 2015. Consequently, the amount of social welfare already paid was deducted from any DA payments for the same period. DA arrears were calculated and the balance issued to the person concerned on 17 June 2015.
