The application based upon the evidence submitted was refused as the person concerned has means in excess of the statutory limit applied for disability allowance arising from his wife's earnings. The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 7 October 2014 and of his right to seek either a review of this decision or appeal directly to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office.
