72. Deputy Seán Conlan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the reason a person (details supplied) in County Monaghan has not received a response to an application for disability allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17231/15]
View answerI confirm that the department is in receipt of an application for disability allowance from the above named person on 2 April 2015. On completion of the necessary investigations on all aspects of the claim a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
