I confirm that the department is in receipt of an application for disability allowance from the above named person on 31 March 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 disability allowance claims may vary in accordance with their complexity in terms of the qualifying criteria, the person’s circumstances and the information they provide in support of their claim.

Every effort will be made to finalise this case as quickly as possible.
