I assume the Deputy is referring to the primary medical certificate required for qualifying for the various tax concessions available under the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers (Tax Concessions) Regulations 1994. A claim under the above regulations can only be considered by the Revenue Commissioners if made by a person who has qualified for a primary medical certificate which is issued by the senior area medical officer of that person's local Health Service Executive clinic. If a primary medical certificate has been refused in the case concerned, the applicant may appeal this refusal to the disabled drivers medical board of appeal, National Rehabilitation Hospital, Rochestown Ave, Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin.
