Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 November 2018
607. Deputy Darragh O'Brien asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application for a disability allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [47830/18]
View answerThe person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 21 September 2018. Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was disallowed on the grounds that the medical condition was not satisfied; it was not found that this lady was substantially restricted in taking up employment.
The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 16 November 2018 and was also notified of their right to request a review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO).
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
