Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2023
799. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on an application for the disability allowance for a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12399/23]
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 confirm that my department received an application for DA from the person concerned on 22 February 2023.
The processing time for individual DA claims may vary in accordance with their relative complexity in terms of the three main qualifying criteria, the person’s circumstances and the information they provide in support of their claim.
On completion of the necessary investigations on all aspects of this application, a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
