Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 December 2016
242. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection to set out the status of a review on a disability allowance in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38745/16]
View answerI can confirm that this lady is in receipt of disability allowance (DA) from my department. We received a request from her to review her claim due to the fact that her financial circumstances had changed. The claim was referred to a social welfare investigative officer (SWI) for a review of her means and circumstances. Following on from that we requested some information which we have now received. The deciding officer will make a decision on the claim as soon as possible and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
