1252. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the eligibility for disability allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13053/19]

The person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 29 January 2019.  Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was disallowed on the grounds that they were not substantially restricted in taking up employment and that they have in excess of the statutory limit.

The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 13 March 2019 and was also notified of their right to request a review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO).

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
