The person concerned applied for Disability Allowance on 17 April 2008.

In order to assess his medical eligibility to Disability Allowance a medical examination was arranged for Friday 13 June, 2008 and the result of this examination is expected shortly. A Social Welfare Inspector interviewed the applicant on 9 June 2008, in order to assess his weekly means. The Inspector has returned his report to Disability Allowance Section.

A final decision will be given on entitlement to Disability Allowance upon receipt of the result of the medical examination. The person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
