Question:

159. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Social Protection when an application for disability allowance will be processed for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27975/16]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

I confirm that an application from the person concerned for disability allowance (DA) was received by the Department on 6 July 2016.

The application has been referred to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for a report on the person’s means and circumstances. Once the SWI has submitted his/her report to DA section, a decision will be made on the application and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
