Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 March 2017
286. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application for a long-term disability allowance in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11191/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThis lady submitted an application for disability allowance on 15 February 2016.
The application, based upon the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds and the person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 9 April 2016 and of her rights of review and appeal. No appeal/review was received.
If the person in question believes they may qualify, it is open to her to reapply by completing and submitting to my department the relevant application form (DA1).
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
