219. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if a decision will be made on a disability application for assistance in view of the medical condition of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15548/19]

I confirm that my Department received an application for disability allowance from this gentleman on 28 February 2019. 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.
