I confirm the department received an application for disability allowance (DA) on 12 October 2015. In order to determine the circumstances of the person concerned, his file was forwarded to his local Social Welfare Inspector (SWI). The SWI will arrange to meet with the person in question as soon as possible.

A decision on his entitlement to DA will be made on receipt of the SWI’s report. The person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
