Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 November 2018
550. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when a disability allowance becomes payable in the case of a person (details supplied) who was previously in receipt of a domiciliary care allowance, DCA; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46566/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance (DA) from the person concerned on 21 August 2018.
On 06 November 2018 they were asked to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on their eligibility. On receipt of this information a decision will be made and they will be notified of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
