Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 May 2017
345. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social Protection the expected date for submitting the file relating to a disability allowance claim by a person (details supplied) to the social welfare appeals office. [24515/17]
View answerThe application for disability allowance (DA) from this gentleman was disallowed by a deciding officer (DO) who decided that he did not satisfy the medical conditions for the scheme.
This gentleman lodged an appeal with the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO). All the relevant papers requested by that Office are currently being prepared by my department and will be submitted shortly. The SWAO will be in touch with the person in due course in relation to the progress of the appeal.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
