Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 September 2017
725. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if she will review an application for disability allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39801/17]
View answerI confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance from this lady on 28 July 2017. On completion of the necessary investigations on all aspects of the claim a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome. The processing time for individual disability allowance claims may vary in accordance with their relative complexity in terms of the three main qualifying criteria, the person’s circumstances and the information they provide in support of their claim. I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
