Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 September 2022
288. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the full amount of disability allowance payable in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46511/22]
View answerThe person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 16 June 2021. Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds as it was not found that they were substantially restricted in taking up employment.
The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 03 August 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).
To date no request for a review or an appeal has been received.
It is open to the person in question to reapply for DA.
The person concerned is currently in receipt of basic supplementary welfare allowance (BASI).
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
