Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 January 2016
126. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection when an application by a person (details supplied) in County Clare under the disability allowance scheme will be processed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1382/16]
View answerI can confirm that the department is in receipt of an application for disability allowance from the above named person on 10 November 2015. When the application was examined by a deciding officer (DO), it was found that the application form was partially incomplete and that there was some other required documentation outstanding. The person concerned recently has been requested to supply the additional information required by the DO to make a decision on his eligibility. On receipt of this information a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.
