323. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Social Protection to expedite an application by a person (details supplied) under the disability allowance scheme. [11704/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that my department is in receipt of an application for disability allowance from the above named person on 6 April 2016. On completion of the necessary investigations on all aspects of the claim a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
The processing time for individual disability allowance 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. I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
