    So, this is the application form for disability but is it just a sample or is it an actual application form to be downloaded?

    This is the part that confuses me. It's from the citizen's information website.

    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    "How to apply

    You can get an application form for Disability Allowance (pdf) from the Disability Allowance Section - see 'Where to apply' below. You can also get an application form in your Intreo centre or social welfare local office.

    If you think you have been wrongly refused Disability Allowance you can appeal this decision.

    Where to apply

    Disability Allowance Section
    Department of Social Protection
    Social Welfare Services Office
    Government Buildings
    Ballinalee Road
    Longford
    Ireland
    Tel:(043) 334 0000
    Locall:1890 92 77 70
    //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


    The PDF application. Is that application just an example or can it actually be used? I'm confused people after the sample page, another PPSN is printed on the form.

    I can't add the link because I'm a new user.

    It's a PDF file. You may need Adobe Reader to be able to download the form.....?

    But on the first page of the actual application, there's a printed ppsn already in it? Are you sure this can be used for real?

    But I'm not talking about the sample page, I mean the actual beginning of the real application. There's already a printed ppsn on it.

    Celtic I have just looked at the DA application form on citizens website and there is no PPSN in the box
    Only on the sample page
    Look again. First page you have to fill in is page 3 of 36

    Hi OP
    I have removed the PPSN from your post as I'm not too sure what that's about and could belong to someone.
    I have looked at the form and see the PPSN field is blank. But the number you have quoted is on the box at the top.
    I'm not too sure why this is. But fill out the form from page 3 with your own PPSN in the blank PPSN field.

    That's not a PPS number. Just fill in the boxes.

    Have you printed out the form?

    Page one and page two are about how to complete this form.

    You need to start on page 3 which is titled Part 1.

    That's not a PPSN Kate
    Just ignore that it's for office use only
    You need to answer the questions
    You need to start at Q1. Your PPSN
    Put your PPSN in there and continue down the page
    If you need any help you should go to your citizens information centre
    There are pages of questions about your health and pages for your GP to fill in
