Following a review of the entitlement of the person concerned, it was found that he had a decrease in his means from his previous assessment. Based on the information provided to my Department, a maximum rate of disability allowance (DA) was awarded with effect from 9 September 2020.

A letter issued to the person concerned informing him of this on 22 December 2020. Arrears of payment due have issued to him on 29 January 2021.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
