I confirm that an application from this gentleman for disability allowance (DA) was received by the department on 21 August 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 this gentleman will be notified directly of the outcome. It is expected this report will be submitted in the coming days and a decision will be made as soon as possible on this case.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
