Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 November 2018
1076. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if a disability allowance payment will be granted to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45190/18]
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 application a decision will be made and they will be notified directly of the outcome.
The processing time for individual disability allowance applications 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 application.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
