Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 June 2016
149. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Social Protection when arrears will issue from the period January to November 2009 to a person (details supplied) under the disability allowance scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16416/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person in question is in receipt of disability allowance (DA) since February 2015.
The person concerned submitted a previous application for DA on 14 July 2009.
The application was disallowed as the deciding officer was satisfied that he had failed to show that his means did not exceed the statutory limit. The person in question had failed to supply certain required information when requested by the department. He was notified on this decision on 14 January 2010 and of his right of appeal. No appeal was received.
Therefore, no arrears of DA are due to the person in question for 2009.
I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
