This gentleman has been in receipt of disability allowance (DA) with effect from 31 October 2012.
On 28 September 2017, we received a request from this gentleman to have an increase for a fourth child included in his DA payment. This has been awarded from 26 July 2017 and arrears of payment due have issued by his chosen payment method.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
