The estimated full-year cost of increasing disability allowance by €12.50 per week is €109.1m. This figure includes a proportionate increase for qualified adults.
This costing is based on the estimated number of recipients in 2022 and is subject to change in the context of emerging trends and associated revision of the estimated numbers of recipients.
