It has been established that this man has an entitlement to disability allowance (DA) with effect from 16 November 2016. However, as he is currently participating in a training course and in receipt of a training allowance, payment of DA will not commence until completion of the course. He should forward the relevant notification to my department when his course is completed in order that his payment of DA can commence.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
