Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 December 2016
327. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision on a disability allowance application will issue to a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39956/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that an application from the person concerned for disability allowance (DA) was received by my department on 26 October 2016. The application has been referred to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for a report on the person's means and circumstances. Once the SWI has submitted his/her report to DA section, a decision will be made on the application and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
