The once-off Autumn Cost of Living Double Payment was paid in the week commencing 17 October 2022 to people in receipt of qualifying payments, including those in receipt of Disablement Benefit.

It was estimated that 13,777 people who are on this payment would benefit from the measure at a cost of €1.2 million.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
