Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 February 2021
447. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding a disability allowance application by a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5808/21]
View answerThe person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 24 November 2020. Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds as it was not found that the person concerned was substantially restricted in taking up employment.
The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 29 January 2021 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.
