Disability Allowance is a weekly allowance paid to people with a specified disability who are aged 16 or over and under the age of 66. This disability must be expected to last for at least one year and the allowance is subject to a medical assessment, means test and Habitual Residency conditions.
I can confirm that my Department received email correspondence on 18 September 2023 in relation to the person concerned.
As advised in response to PQ 3907/23, a review of the continued entitlement to Disability Allowance of the person concerned is ongoing. The Department will provide an update to the Deputy when the review is completed.
A response issued to the Deputy’s email confirming the position on 10 October 2023.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
