A review has been carried out on this customer application for Disability Allowance (DA) and the increase for qualified adult has been awarded from the Wednesday after she returned. The weekly rate of payment is now €165.50. Arrears of allowance due issued on 23 March 2018.

In relation to the assessment of the property it has been reviewed and is still deemed as assessable at half the value. The property is not personally used or enjoyed by the customer and as such could be put to profitable use.

A letter regarding the revised decision has issued to the customer on the 23 March 2018. It is open to him to request a review or an appeal of this decision.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy
