The disability allowance will rise to €254 following the €10 increase.
A Laois TD wants to see the disability allowance increase tripled for January.
Independent rep Brian Stanley believes the €10 increase won't be enough to counteract the increased rate of inflation in heating, food, and transport.
In 2024, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul defined the poverty threshold for a single adult as an income below €346.
With the €10 increase, the disability allowance will be €254.
Deputy Stanley feels the current rate is not enough:
