Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

I can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance from this lady on 30 March 2017.

On 10 June 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.
