Following a second medical examination and having considered all the evidence, the appeals officer disallowed the appeal for the person concerned.

Payment of invalidity pension was terminated with effect from 5th November 2009.

The decision of an appeals officer is final and conclusive in the absence of fresh facts or evidence.

With regard to the latest information received on 5th January 2011, in relation to the person concerned, it is considered that it contains no fresh facts or evidence and accordingly there is no ground to review the appeals officer's decision.

The person concerned was approved for jobseekers allowance with effect from 10th November 2009 and is currently in payment at the personal rate of € 188.00 per week.
