Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 January 2018
1682. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application for a disability allowance by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1980/18]
View answerI confirm that an application from this lady for disability allowance (DA) was received by the Department in June 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 this lady will be notified directly of the outcome. It is expected this report will be submitted in the coming days and a decision will made as soon as possible on this case.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
