On 4 September 2015, the person in question was awarded disability allowance (DA) with effect from 11 March 2015. They were in receipt of another social welfare payment during the period 28 May 2015 to 22 September 2015. Consequently, the amount of social welfare already paid in the period for which DA was now awarded had to be calculated and deducted from the total DA due. The department is satisfied that the correct amount of arrears were paid to the person in question.
