601. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application for a disability allowance in respect of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39675/19]

This gentleman applied for disability allowance (DA) on 20 May 2019. The application was disallowed as the person concerned failed to supply information which was requested by this Department.

On 19 September 2019 additional information was submitted on behalf of the person concerned. Further supporting documentation which is required in order to make a decision on his entitlement was subsequently requested by the deciding officer on 20 September 2019.

On receipt of this information a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome. 

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 17 July 2019. The first payment will be made by his chosen payment method on 2 October 2019.

Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of any overlapping payments (if applicable).

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
