539. To ask the Minister for Social Protection the reason a person (details supplied) in County Kerry was refused disability allowance; if their case is open for further medical evidence to be submitted for consideration; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13668/17]

This lady submitted an application for disability allowance on 8 September 2015.

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 9 November 2015 and of her rights of review and appeal. No request for review or appeal was received.

If the person in question believes they may qualify, it is open to her to reapply by completing and submitting to the Department the relevant application form (DA1).

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
