Following a review of the entitlement of this lady, it was found that she had a decrease in her means from her previous assessment. Based on the information provided to my department, a maximum rate of disability allowance (DA) was awarded with effect from 22 January 2020.

A letter issued to this lady informing her of this on 19 May 2020. Arrears of payment due have also issued to the person concerned.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
