599. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when the disability allowance section will be in a position to process an application by a person (details supplied) whose domiciliary allowance has ceased; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39758/18]

I confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance from this lady on 4 September 2018. On completion of the necessary investigations on all aspects of the claim a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
The processing time for individual DA claims may vary in accordance with their relative complexity in terms of the three main qualifying criteria, the person’s circumstances and the information they provide in support of their claim.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
