Written answers

I confirm the department received an application for disability allowance (DA) on 6 July 2016. On 22 September 2016 the person concerned was requested to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on his eligibility.

In order to determine the circumstances of the person concerned, his file was forwarded to his local Social Welfare Inspector (SWI). The SWI will arrange to meet with the person in question as soon as possible.

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.
