I confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance (DA) from this gentleman on 6 September 2018.
On 31 October 2018 they were asked to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on his eligibility. On receipt of all the requested information a decision will be made and he will be notified 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.
