A review was carried out on the means of the person concerned and they were awarded an increased rate of disability allowance (DA) with effect from 13 May 2020. A letter informing them of this decision issued to them on 28 May 2020.

A further review of the entitlement of the person concerned was carried out on 1 February 2021 and it was found that she had an increase in her means from her previous assessment. Based on the information provided to my Department, a reduced rate of DA was awarded effective from 10 February 2021.

Notification of this decision issued to the person concerned. They were also notified of their right to request a review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO).

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
