Between 1994 to 2000. The allowance was 822 dollars.
That allowance had not been changed since the early eighties, and we all know inflation has devalued the Dollar.
Now they finally double the 822 figure, most likely, as I'm not sure if they increased it in the past few years.
What's interesting is that "Thanks" have to be in order to the Rulers, as always, and as ever.
