The person concerned applied for disability allowance on 20 March 2012. The application, based upon the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds and the person was notified in writing of this decision on 29 June 2012.

The person submitted further medical evidence in support of his claim and a review of his application is underway. Once a decision is made on this review, the person in question will be notified of the outcome.
