207. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection if she will review an application for a disability pension by a person (details supplied) in County Longford, whose application was refused on the basis of means. [37769/15]
View answerThe application for disability allowance (DA) from the person concerned was disallowed on 11 February 2015 on the basis that his weekly means exceeded the statutory limit allowable.
The person in question appealed this decision to the social welfare appeals office (SWAO) but the appeal was unsuccessful.
It is open to the person concerned to submit a new application for DA and a decision will be made upon it as soon as possible.
