Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection

I can confirm that all disability allowance appeals awarded up to and including week ending 4 February 2018 have been dealt with, other than a small number of cases where the Department is awaiting final details from an applicant before implementing the Appeals Officer’s decision.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
