Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 June 2016
185. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application by a person (details supplied) under the disability allowance scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17459/16]
View answerI can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance from the above named person on 28 January 2016.
On 19 May 2016 the person concerned was requested to supply supporting documentation, omitted from her original application, and required by the deciding officer (DO) in order to make a decision on her eligibility. However, this information has not yet been received by the DO. On receipt of this information a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.
I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
