95. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the status of an appeal by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry under the disabilty allowance scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46938/15]
View answerI confirm the Department received an application for disability allowance (DA) on 15 September 2015. In order to determine the circumstances of the person concerned, her file was forwarded to her local Social Welfare Inspector (SWI). The SWI will arrange to meet with the person in question as soon as possible.
A decision on her entitlement to DA will be made on receipt of the Social Welfare Inspector’s report. The person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
