Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 September 2017
706. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if provision can be made for persons (details supplied) to receive separate disability assistance payments or invalidity pensions as opposed to an adult dependency payment; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39502/17]
View answerI can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance from this man on 27 June 2017. On 6 September 2017 the person concerned was requested to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on his eligibility. 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.
