Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2019
222. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if a disability payment will be approved for a person (details supplied); and if the matter will be expedited. [37902/19]
View answerThe person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 29 May 2019. 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 11 September 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).
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
