I can confirm that my Department is in receipt of an application for disability allowance (DA) from this lady. The claim was referred by a deciding officer (DO) to a social welfare investigative officer (SWI) for a report on the person’s means and circumstances.
The SWI met with this lady on 14 September 2017 and outlined to her the documents needed in order to progress the claim. This was followed up by a written request for the documentation. However, she has so far failed to provide same. Once the SWI has submitted his/her report to the DO, a decision will be made on the application and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
