Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 November 2015
154. Deputy Brian Walsh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection if an application for disability allowance will be expedited for a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40432/15]
View answerI confirm that the Department is in receipt of an application for disability allowance from the named person on 25 September 2015. The application is currently being processed and, once completed, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
The processing time for individual disability allowance claims may vary in accordance with their relative complexity in terms of the three main qualifying criteria, the person’s circumstances and the information they provide in support of their claim.
