Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 October 2019
594. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43075/19]
View answerThis gentleman submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 2 August 2019.
The application, based upon the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds and this gentleman was notified in writing of this decision on 17 October 2019. He was also notified of the reason for it and of the option to submit further medical evidence in support of his application for review and of his right to appeal the decision to the Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO).
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
