Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2022
449. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection when a disability allowance application will be processed for a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [59411/22]
View answerDisability Allowance (DA) is a weekly allowance paid to people with a specified disability who are aged 16 or over and under the age of 66. This disability must be expected to last for at least one year and the allowance is subject to a medical assessment, means test and Habitual Residency conditions
I can confirm my Department has not received an application for DA for the person concerned. A completed DA application form must be submitted to the Department in order to establish if the person concerned has an entitlement. An application form was posted to the person concerned on 28 September 2022, 25 October 2022 and 24 November 2022.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
