I can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance from this lady on 30 March 2017.

On 10 June 2017 the person concerned was requested to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on her eligibility. On receipt of this information a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

295. To ask the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application for disability allowance by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30470/17]

I confirm that an application from the person concerned for disability allowance (DA) was received by my department on 12 April 2017. The application has been referred to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for a report on the person’s means and circumstances. Once the SWI has submitted his/her report to DA section, a decision will be made on the application and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
