Written answers
The person concerned submitted an appeal on 5th February 2026 in relation to a decision they received on their application for Disability Allowance. Having considered all of the available evidence the Appeals Officer found the means of the person concerned had been calculated correctly by the Department and the appeal was subsequently disallowed on 30th March 2026.
If the person concerned has additional information not previously submitted for consideration which was relevant at the date the claim was made that they now wish to bring to the attention of the Social Welfare Appeals Office, they may do so by completing an SWAO2 form to request a review under Section 317 of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act.
If the person concerned thinks the decision was erroneous by reason of a mistake as to the facts or the law it is open to them to request a review under Section 318 by submitting a written statement of the grounds on which a review of the decision is sought and include any new evidence that was not previously considered.
