Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
1168. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will provide an update on a disability allowance application for a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43822/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 30 June 2022. Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds as it was not found that they were substantially restricted in taking up employment.
The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 31 August 2022 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.
