In order to determine the circumstances of the person concerned his file was forwarded to his local Social Welfare Inspector. The Inspector met with the spouse of the person concerned, as he is not capable of communicating himself, and is currently compiling his report.

A final decision on his entitlement to disability allowance will be given on receipt of the Social Welfare Inspectors report. The person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
