I confirm that a request for a review of the Increase for Qualified Adult (IQA) on her disability allowance (DA) was received from this lady on 25 July 2018.

The file was referred to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for a report on the person’s means and circumstances. The SWI has submitted his/her report to DA section and it is currently with a deciding officer for examination.

When a decision is made on the review of her IQA this lady will be notified directly of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
