72. Deputy Noel Coonan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection when an application under the disability allowance scheme by a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary will be finalised; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1753/16]

There is no record of an application for disability allowance from the person in question. If the person in question wishes to make an application, she should fully complete and submit an application form (DA1) so that her eligibility may be determined.

If the person in question has submitted an application for DA in the last few days, there is no need to reapply and the Department will be in touch with her in due course.
