I confirm that an application from this gentleman for disability allowance (DA) was received by the Department on 15 June 2017. The application has been referred to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for a report on the person’s means and circumstances.

The SWI is currently awaiting requested information from the client. Once the SWI has received the information they will submit his/her report to DA section. On completion of the necessary investigations on all aspects of the claim a decision will then 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.
