Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 April 2017
184. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Social Protection the steps he will take to expedite an application for a disability allowance by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17312/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance from this lady on 22 March 2017.
On 4 April 2017 the person concerned was requested to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on her 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.
