I confirm that an application from this gentleman for disability allowance (DA) was received by the Department on 22 July 2019.

On 26 September 2019 the person concerned was requested to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on his eligibility.

The application has been referred to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for a report on the person’s means and circumstances. Once the SWI has submitted his/her report to DA section, a decision will be made on the application and this gentleman will be notified directly of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
