Is the 400 disability allowance taxable income ?

Tax free payment​

Disability Allowance payments, including increases for dependent adults or children and other Allowances paid with the payment, are fully exempt from:
  • income tax
  • PRSI
  • USC
 
No the Carers Grant is not taxable.
@Roro999 asked about Disability Allowance:
Not the Carer's Support Grant:
But both are exempt from income tax, PRSI and USC.
 
Thanks, and am I right in saying that the double invalidity pension payment in October and in December are taxable
 
Invalidity Pension is taxable normally so I can't see why the "bonus" payments would be different?
