Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 October 2019
306. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if a disability allowance application will be expedited for a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42737/19]
View answerI can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance (DA) from this lady on 5 June 2019.
On 7 September 2019 and on 20 September 2019 the person concerned was requested to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on her eligibility. On receipt of this information a decision will be made on her DA application and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
