The person concerned was awarded a reduced rate disability allowance (DA) with effect from 30 March 2011. Following a review of her continuing entitlement to DA on 28 November 2013 she was disallowed payment from 3 December 2013 as her means exceeded the statutory limit for receipt of DA. Following a request by the person for a review of this decision, the person’s file is currently with a social welfare investigator for a means investigation. When the investigator’s report is received a deciding officer will review the claim and the person will be notified directly of the outcome. It is expected that the investigator’s report will be received within the next two weeks.

This information is summarised, as requested, in the following tabular statement.
