The customer's review application for Invalidity Pension has been medically assessed on 18th October, 2019  by one of the Department's Medical Assessors and the medical opinion has been conveyed to a Deciding Officer in the Invalidity scheme area who will be in contact with the customer in due course. I am advised that additional staff are being allocated to deal with decision review cases.
