Question:

258. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Social Protection when a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath will be paid disability allowance. [29384/16]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

I confirm that the department was notified by the Social Welfare Appeals Office on the 4 October 2016 that the appeal for the person in question was upheld and was deemed to be medically suitable for the scheme.

Her file has been passed to a deciding officer to implement the appeals officers’ decision and the person concerned will be notified in writing once full entitlement has been established.
