Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 May 2016
455. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding an application for disability allowance by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12833/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that an application from the person concerned for disability allowance (DA) was received by the Department on 24 February 2016. The person in question has been awarded invalidity pension (IP) which is more beneficial to him than DA. Accordingly, he has withdrawn his application for DA.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
