Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 April 2016
34. Deputy Kevin O'Keeffe asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the status of an application by a person (details supplied) in County Cork under the disability allowance scheme and the living alone allowance scheme, including when she will finalise it. [5611/16]
View answerI confirm that the department is in receipt of an application for disability allowance from the above named person on 15 March 2016. On completion of the necessary investigations on all aspects of the claim a decision will be made and 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.
