Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how many successful applicants to the Troubles Permanent Disablement Payment Scheme have had their monthly payment reduced to (a) less than £10, (b) between £10 and £25 and (c) between £25 and £50 as a consequence of Regulation 19.

The Troubles Permanent Disablement Payment Scheme is administered by the Victims’ Payments Board, with oversight by The Executive Office. As such, the Northern Ireland Office does not hold this information. I would encourage the Honourable Gentleman to direct his questions to the Victims’ Payments Board directly.
