204. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 1017 of 11 September 2023, if the outcome of the review will be confirmed again as the letter of 20 July 2023 was not received by the client; and if the review is now closed. [40813/23]

Disability Allowance (DA) is a weekly allowance paid to people with a specified disability who are aged 16 or over and under the age of 66. This disability must be expected to last for at least one year and the allowance is subject to a medical assessment, means test and Habitual Residency conditions.
I wish to confirm that the means review of the person concerned was completed in July 2023 and a copy of the decision letter that issued on 20 July 2023 has been sent to the Deputy. A medical review of the person concerned is currently ongoing. The medical questionnaire was re-issued to the person concerned on 7th September 2023, as requested by the Deputy.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
