I confirm that an application from the person concerned for disability allowance (DA) was received by the Department on 1 February 2022.

The processing time for individual DA claims may vary in accordance with their relative complexity in terms of the three main qualifying criteria, the person’s circumstances and the information they provide in support of their claim.

On 9 February 2022 the person concerned was requested to supply further information required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on their eligibility. Further information was supplied on 4 March and on 9 March 20222.

On 30 March 2022 the person concerned was requested to supply further information required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on their eligibility. On receipt of this information a decision will be made on their DA application and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
