Following a review of the entitlement of the person concerned, their claim was suspended on 13 December 2021 as they failed to supply the information required in order to assess their entitlement.

The requested information was received from the person concerned and their file was sent to a social welfare inspector (SWI) on 22 December 2021 for a full report of their means and circumstances.

Further information which was requested by the SWI from this person has not been submitted and a second request for the outstanding documents has now issued. On receipt of the report from the SWI a decision will be made on their DA and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
