I propose to take Questions Nos. 235, 248 and 260 together.

I confirm that the Department is in receipt of applications for disability allowance from the above named persons. On completion of the necessary investigations on all aspects of the claims a decision will be made and the persons concerned will be notified directly of the outcome. The average time taken to process a claim to completion, including assessment of the claimant's means, medical condition and habitual residence status is approximately 17 weeks.
