118. To ask the Minister for Social Protection when a reply will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Cavan regarding deductions in their disability allowance payment; if she will ensure that the full rate of social protection payment will be restored without further delay to this person and the reductions in their present payment ceased, as they have outlined the full circumstances of their case to her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I confirm that the above named is currently in receipt of disability allowance. Deductions of €28.20 per week are in place as the person concerned has an outstanding debt owing to the department.

The debt recovery unit have examined the documents submitted by the person concerned outlining his outgoings and they have agreed to reduce his weekly deductions to €15.00, commencing 13 April 2016.
