Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2022
456. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will be made on a disability allowance application (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [59468/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance (DA) from this person on 02 November 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 25 November 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.
