Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 January 2018
1598. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if an application for disability allowance by a person (details supplied) will be reviewed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [55162/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraBased on the evidence supplied in support of this person’s application, her application for disability allowance was disallowed on the grounds that the medical qualifying condition was not satisfied. The person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 11 September 2017.
They requested a review of the decision by a deciding officer (DO) and submitted additional medical evidence for consideration on 27 October 2017.
On 12 January 2018 they were asked to supply further 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 she will be notified of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
