Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 April 2016
13. Deputy John Brassil asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection to expedite a review for a person (details supplied) in County Kerry under the disability allowance scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5386/16]
View answerI confirm that the department is in receipt of an application for disability allowance (DA) from the above named person on 10 November 2015. The person concerned is currently in receipt of illness benefit.
On 23 March 2016 a letter issued to the person concerned, advising that their current payment is slightly higher than their entitlement on DA. They have been asked to choose which scheme they wish to receive.
We are currently awaiting a response from the person concerned.
