133. To ask the Minister for Social Protection the extent to which a person (details supplied) can expect a seamless transfer through existing or other relevant payment given their acceptance in a third level institution and that they have been in receipt of disability allowance; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The person in question is currently in receipt of disability allowance (DA). We are awaiting details regarding his acceptance in a third level institution. DA will remain in payment as long as the person in question fulfils the criteria for the scheme. When the information regarding his further education has been received, he will be advised further of his options.

I hope that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
