Correct, if they have one currently. I am someone who has a medical card. The HSE writes to me informing me it is reviewing my medical card. If I find that I can no longer hold it on means grounds, I can then apply on discretionary grounds and hold my medical card for the duration of the appeal period on discretionary grounds.
