Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 February 2017
182. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will review eligibility for disability allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5132/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance from this gentleman on 17 November 2016.
When the application was examined by a deciding officer (DO), it was found that the application form was partially incomplete and that there was some other required documentation outstanding. The person concerned has recently been requested to supply the additional information required by the DO to make a decision on his eligibility. On receipt of this information a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
