I confirm an application for disability allowance (DA) was received from this man on 8 March 2007.

DA was awarded to him with effect from 14 March 2007 at a reduced rate. Means were derived from rental income and were verified by a Social Welfare Inspector. Means of €147.50 per week were assessed.

If there has been any change to this person circumstances since their last assessment they can request a review of their weekly means.
