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.
As the person concerned turned 66 in May 2024, they have no entitlement to this allowance.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
