Freagraí scríofa

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

The person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 10 September 2018.

Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was disallowed on the grounds that they do not satisfy the medical conditions for disability allowance and they are not habitually resident in this state.

The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 3 January 2019 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.

Question No. 1057 answered with Question No. 1041.
