I can confirm that the Department has received an application for disability allowance (DA) from the person concerned. In order to determine her circumstances, her file was forwarded to a local Social Welfare Inspector. The inspector has been in contact with the person concerned to arrange an interview.

A decision on her entitlement to DA will be given on receipt of the Social Welfare Inspector’s report. The person in question will be notified directly of the outcome.
