My department is in contact with this lady with proposals for the recovery of the debt. The debt recovery officer is still awaiting a response to the recovery proposal sent to the person concerned on 16 November 2016. A reminder issued to this lady on 13 January 2017.

The person in question was awarded disability allowance with effect from 10 August 2016 and first payment was 5 October 2016. Disability allowance has remained in payment since that date.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
