Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 May 2018
419. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of a disability allowance application by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18739/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThis lady submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 21 February 2018. Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds as it was not found that this lady was substantially restricted in taking up employment.
She was notified in writing of this decision on 26 April 2018 and was also notified of their right to request a review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO).
I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
