The application for disability allowance (DA) from the person in question was disallowed on 21 May 2015 on two grounds, firstly that he does not satisfy the medical conditions for the scheme and, secondly, that he failed to demonstrate that his means do not exceed the statutory limit in his case.

The person concerned was advised of the option to submit additional documentation and/or evidence for review and of his right to lodge an appeal directly to the Social Welfare Appeals Office. To date neither option has been exercised.
