The application, based upon the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds and the person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 14 March 2014.

The person in question requested a review of this decision and submitted further medical evidence in support of his application. The person concerned can expect a decision on the review of his disability allowance application shortly.

In the meantime, if his means are insufficient to meet his needs he may apply for means-tested supplementary welfare allowance from his local community welfare service.
