Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 October 2018
499. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when a disability allowance payment will issue to a person (details supplies) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41053/18]
View answerI confirm that my Department received an application for disability allowance from the person concerned on 25 September 2018. On completion of the necessary investigations on all aspects of the claim a decision will be made and they 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.
