View answerThe continuing eligibility for disability allowance (DA) of the person concerned is currently under review. The Department has received notification of a new address from the person concerned. A local Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) has been requested to investigate all the circumstances of the case and has met the person concerned. The SWI is to provide the deciding officer with a report on the person’s overall circumstances. Following receipt of that report a decision will be made on the ongoing eligibility to DA of the person concerned and he will be notified directly of the outcome.
