I confirm my department received a request for a review from this man on 13 February 2016 regarding his Disability Allowance (DA)application. 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 Social Welfare Inspector’s report. The person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
