The person concerned applied for disability allowance on 11 July 2011. His claim has been referred to one of the Department's medical assessors for an opinion as to his medical suitability for disability allowance.

When the deciding officer receives the medical assessor's opinion the person's entitlement to disability allowance will be determined taking account of the Department's assessment of his means. The person will be notified in writing of this decision.
