The person concerned applied for disability allowance on 9 July 2009. Her claim was assessed by a Medical Assessor who expressed the opinion that she was not medically suitable for Disability Allowance. The person's claim was refused by a Deciding Officer on 15 October 2009. The person subsequently appealed this decision to the Social Welfare Appeals Office. The person in question was found by the Social Welfare Appeals Office to be medically suitable for disability allowance and her file was recently returned to the section area. A deciding officer will issue a revised decision and the person concerned will be notified of the revised decision on her claim very shortly.
