Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 April 2016
59. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the status of an application under the disability allowance scheme by a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12; when a decision will issue. [7568/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned was in receipt of disability allowance (DA) up to 20 August 2013, which was stopped as he no longer fulfilled the qualifying conditions, including residency conditions. In July 2015, medical evidence was submitted to the department by the person concerned. This was returned to the person in question on 23 July 2015, along with a DA1 application form, as it could not be dealt with in the absence of a DA application. He was advised to have the DA1 form completed and returned in order to determine his eligibility. To date, no application by the person concerned for DA has been lodged.
