Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 October 2016
105. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application for disability allowance by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32493/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that my Department is in receipt of an application for disability allowance from this man on 11 October 2016. On completion of the necessary investigations on all aspects of the claim a decision will be made and the man 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 trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
