Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 October 2017
592. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the progress to date in the determination of an application for disability allowance by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41763/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that my Department received an application for disability allowance, DA, from this lady on 18 September 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 DA 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 her claim.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
