I confirm that an application from this lady for disability allowance (DA) was received by my Department on 8 January 2019.

The application was referred to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for a report on the person’s means and circumstances. The SWI has submitted his/her report to DA section on 7 May 2019.

Further medical evidence was received from the person concerned on 25 March 2019 and on 2 May 2019 and this is being reviewed by a deciding officer (DO). After the DO has considered all the evidence provided, they will make a decision on the application and this lady will be notified directly of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
