Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 September 2016
388. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Social Protection when an application for a disability allowance will be processed for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26793/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that the Department is in receipt of an application for disability allowance from the above named person on 12 August 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.
