Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

I confirm the department received an application for disability allowance (DA) on 8 June 2015. In order to determine the circumstances of the person concerned, his file was forwarded to his local Social Welfare Inspector (SWI). A decision on his 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.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
