I can confirm that my Department is in receipt of an application for disability allowance, DA, from this lady. The application was referred by a deciding officer, DO, to a social welfare investigative officer, SWI, for a report on this lady’s means and circumstances. The SWI met with her on 8 September 2017 and a further meeting is scheduled for 6 October 2017. Once the SWI has submitted his/her report to the DO, a decision will be made on the application and she will be notified directly of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
