331. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if eligibility for disability allowance in the case of a person (details supplied) will be reviewed; and if he will make a statement on the matter [16000/19]

I confirm that the above named person was in receipt of disability allowance (DA) from my Department.

On 27 February 2019 this gentleman was advised that his DA claim had been terminated and he was also notified of his right to seek a review of this decision or appeal directly to the Social Welfare Appeals Office. To date there has been no request for an appeal or review.

The person in question can apply to the Community Welfare Officer for the means tested Supplementary Welfare Allowance (SWA) if he is in need of financial assistance.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
