The department received a claim for invalidity pension (IP) from the person concerned on the 18 August 2014. The person concerned was refused IP on the grounds that, based upon the evidence supplied, the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. The person in question was notified on the 11 December 2014 of this decision, the reasons for it and of his rights of review and appeal.
The person concerned requested a review of this decision and submitted further medical evidence on 27 February 2015 in support of his request. Following a review of all the information available it has been decided that there is no change to the original decision. The person concerned was notified on 14 May 2015 of the outcome of the review and of his right to appeal the decision to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office within 21 days.
