Disability Payment Push in Budget | Belfast News

The government is racing to include a groundbreaking disability payment in the upcoming budget — a real, ongoing support of up to 15,000 euros annually to help people with disabilities cover essential living costs. After years of advocacy and a major summit involving over a thousand organizations, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has made it clear: disability is a top priority. Drawing from the success of carer’s allowance, this new payment aims to start small but grow into a lasting lifeline. Meanwhile, childcare costs are also under fire, with the government pledging to slash monthly expenses for families down to around 200 euros — a bold move seen as a breakthrough for early years and family budgets.
