Vol. 387 No. 3

Written Answers. - Social Welfare Benefit.

42.

asked the Minister for Social Welfare the reason disability benefit has been terminated in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare where a consultant certified that she is definitely unfit for work; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Payment of disability benefit to the person concerned was disallowed from 18 January 1989 following examination by a medical referee who expressed the opinion that she was capable of work.

She has not indicated to the Department that she wishes to appeal the decision to disallow payment and she has not submitted medical evidence of incapacity for work subsequent to the date of disallowance.
