Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 June 2017
216. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding an application for a disability allowance by a person (details supplied); if same can now be expedited; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29396/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance from this lady on 9 May 2017. On completion of the necessary investigations on all aspects of the claim a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
The processing time for individual disability allowance claims may vary in accordance with their relative complexity in terms of the three main qualifying criteria, the person’s circumstances and the information they provide in support of their claim.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
