Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 November 2016
377. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application for a disability allowance in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34517/16]
View answerI confirm that an application from this man for disability allowance (DA) was received by my Department on 18 March 2016.
The application was referred to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for a report on the person’s means and circumstances. The SWI has confirmed that the investigation has been completed and is forwarding his report. 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.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
