Further information in support of the appeal was received in the Department on the 24th April 2013 and this information has also been forwarded for review by the Medical Assessor.

Upon receipt of the Medical Assessor’s opinion, the case will be further examined and forwarded for consideration by the Appeals Office, if necessary.
