The person concerned is currently in receipt of disability allowance (DA). I can confirm that a review has been carried out and the person in question has been awarded full rate DA with effect from 29 June 2016. The first increased payment was issued to the person concerned by his selected payment method on 21 September 2016. Arrears of payment due were also issued, by the chosen payment method, on 21 September 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
