Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 July 2017
1577. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of a disability allowance application by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36507/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that an application from the person concerned for disability allowance (DA) was received by my department on 12 April 2017.
The application has been referred to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for a report on the person’s means and circumstances. The SWI expects to interview this lady shortly. Once the SWI has submitted his/her report to DA section, a decision will be made on the application and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
