Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 May 2017
602. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason for the refusal of a domiciliary allowance application by a person (details supplied); if he will review this application; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20480/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThis gentleman submitted an application for disability allowance on 10 January 2017.
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 3 March 2017 and of his rights of review and appeal. No request for review or appeal was received.
If the person in question believes they may qualify, it is open to him to reapply by completing and submitting to the Department the relevant application form (DA1).
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
