Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 March 2017
123. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the position in regard to disability allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11001/17]
View answerI confirm that an application from this lady for disability allowance (DA) was received by my Department on 13 May 2016.
The application has been referred to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for a report on the person’s means and circumstances. 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.
