Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2019
536. 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. [17426/19]
View answerThe person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 7 December 2018. Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds as it was not found that this gentleman was substantially restricted in taking up employment.
The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 14 March 2019 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. No request for an appeal or review has been received.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
