Having considered all the evidence and following a second medical examination, 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 19 May 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.
