Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 December 2022
269. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on the review of the decision on a disability allowance application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [61459/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraDisability Allowance (DA) is a weekly allowance paid to people with a specified disability who are aged 16 or over and under the age of 66. This disability must be expected to last for at least one year and the allowance is subject to a medical assessment, means test and Habitual Residency conditions
I confirm that my department received an application for DA from the person concerned on 22 September 2022.
Based on the evidence supplied in support of this person’s application, her application for DA was disallowed on the grounds that the medical qualifying condition was not satisfied.
The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 17 November 2022, and they were given the right to a review or an appeal.
To date no request for a review or an appeal has been received.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
