20. To ask the Minister for Social Protection when she will approve a payment for a person (details supplied) under the disability allowance scheme, given that the person's eligibility under the domiciliary care allowance scheme ceased on the person reaching 16 years of age; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I confirm that the department is in receipt of an application for disability allowance (DA) from the above named person on 13 April 2016. On completion of the necessary investigations on all aspects of the claim a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
The processing time for individual DA claims may vary in accordance with their relative complexity in terms of the three main qualifying criteria, the person’s circumstances and the quality and completeness of information they provide in support of their claim.
