Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 June 2016
210. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an appeal by a person (details supplied) under the disability allowance scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14169/16]
View answerAn application for disability allowance was received from the person in question by the department on 12 November 2015. The application, based on the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds and the person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 23 January 2016.
The person was also notified of his right to a review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office. My department has no record of an application for a review or an appeal in this case.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
