Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 May 2018
421. Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when a decision will issue on a disability allowance claim by a person (details supplied) in County Wexford; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18805/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThis gentleman’s Disability Allowance (DA) was stopped on 31 January 2016 as he commenced on Back to Work Allowance (BTWA).
The person concerned informed us that his BTWA was ceasing on 28 March 2018 and he wished to have his DA re-instated. The file was sent to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for a report on the person’s means and circumstances as he is now Self Employed.
On 23 April 2018 the person concerned was asked to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on his eligibility. On receipt of this information a decision will be made and he will be notified of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
