The estimated annual cost of increasing disability allowance, invalidity pension and blind pension by €1 is €12.4m.

It should be noted that these costings are subject to change in the context of emerging trends and the associated revision of the estimated numbers of recipients.

It should also be noted that these costings include proportionate increases for qualified adults and for those on reduced rates of payment, where relevant.
