1068. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of a disability allowance application by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8471/20]

I can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance (DA) from this lady on 6 March 2020.

On 24 March 2020 and the 24 April 2020 the person concerned was requested to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on her eligibility.

A further information request was sent to this lady on 13 May 2020.  On receipt of this information a decision will be made on her DA application and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
