Mobility Allowance cases are reviewed financially on an annual basis and medically where appropriate. If the review process results in an unfavourable determination, formal notification must issue to the client informing him or her of their formal Right of Appeal and indicating where he/she should send the appeal.

As the Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004 my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this case investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
