Following a review of the person's continued entitlement to disability allowance, medical evidence furnished by the person concerned was referred to one of the department's medical assessors who was of the opinion, based on the information supplied, that the person was no longer medically suitable for disability allowance. The deciding officer accepted this opinion and disallowed the claim and the person was notified in writing of this decision on 7 June 2012. This decision is currently being reviewed by a deciding officer and the person will be notified directly of the outcome in due course.
