Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 January 2017
323. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will be made on a disability allowance claim (details supplied) in view of the fact that the application was submitted in August 2016. [3806/17]
View answerI can confirm that my Department received an application for disability allowance from this man on 22 August 2016.
On 21 October 2016 the person concerned was requested to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on his eligibility. As we have not received a response to date, my Department has issued a reminder. On receipt of this information a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
