Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 September 2016
421. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of a disability allowance application by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27111/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 18 March 2016. The application was refused on means grounds, the person failed to make himself available for interview with the social welfare inspector (SWI) and he was notified in writing of this decision on 22 September 2016. The person concerned was also notified of his right to a review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
