I confirm that the person concerned requested a review of the decision on their application for disability allowance (DA) and that this request was received by the Department on 6 December 2018. 

The matter has been referred to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for a report on the person’s means and circumstances.  Once the SWI has completed their report, a decision will be made and this lady will be notified directly of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

I can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance (DA) from this lady on 1 March 2019. 

On 21 March 2019 the person concerned was requested to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on her eligibility.  On receipt of this information a decision will be made on her DA application and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
