Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 September 2023
622. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if an interim payment can be facilitated in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39766/23]
View answerThe person concerned submitted an application for Disability Allowance on 13 June 2023. 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 11 September 2023 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.
The person concerned can apply to the Community Welfare Officer for the means tested Supplementary Welfare Allowance if they are in need of financial assistance.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
