Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 January 2019
1115. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the progress to date in the determination of a request for a review of eligibility for a disability allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); when the review is likely to be concluded; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1636/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraBased on the evidence supplied in support of this person’s application, her application for disability allowance (DA) was disallowed on the grounds that the medical qualifying condition was not satisfied. The person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 26 September 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).
Further medical evidence was received and a review of this decision was carried out. The original decision was upheld and the person concerned was notified in writing on 10 January 2019. She was also advised of her right to appeal this decision to the independent social welfare appeals office.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
