303. To ask the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application for a disability allowance in respect of a person (details supplied). [5534/17]

This gentleman submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 6 October 2016.

The application, based upon the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds and the person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 12 December 2016. The person concerned submitted further medical evidence and applied for a review of the decision. This review has now been completed and the original decision confirmed. The person concerned has been notified directly of the outcome and advised of his right to appeal the decision to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
