Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2017
1249. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application for disability allowance by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46592/17]
View answerI confirm that an application from this gentleman for disability allowance (DA) was received by the department on 21 August 2017. 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.
