  • Ministerial statement on the Troubles Permanent Disablement Payment Scheme

    Date published: 12 April 2021

    Statement from the First Minister, deputy First Minister, Justice Minister and Finance Minister on the Troubles Permanent Disablement Payment Scheme:

    Blue graphic with the word 'News' in white letters.

    The Court has today accepted our undertaking that payments will be made to successful applicants under the Troubles Permanent Disablement Payment Scheme.

    We remain committed to delivering the scheme and are mindful of the needs of victims and survivors who will be recipients of the payment.

    This undertaking provides reassurance and confidence that payments will be made when they fall due under the terms of the Scheme, regardless of where the funding comes from.

    We will continue to progress financial discussions with the Westminster Government in the context of their funding responsibilities for the Scheme.
