Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 September 2018
223. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the reason a person (details supplied) is receiving a reduced rate of disability allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39172/18]
View answerDisability Allowance is a means tested payment.
The person concerned is in receipt of DA since 8 November 2016 at a reduced rate as he was assessed with means from property he owns.
Notification of this decision issued to the person concerned on 8 November 2016. They were also notified of their right to a review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent social welfare appeals office (SWAO). No request for a review or appeal was received.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
