This gentleman submitted an application for disability allowance on 15 December 2016.
The application was forwarded to a social welfare inspector in order to establish the means available to the person. The inspector requested documentation from the person in question on 24 March 2017. The information requested has not been received to date. The inspector forwarded his/her report to the deciding officer on 26 April 2017.
The application was refused as my department were unable to determine eligibility on means grounds and he did not satisfy the medical condition for the scheme. He was notified in writing of this decision on 26 April 2017 and of his rights of review and appeal.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
