The application for disability allowance from the person in question was disallowed on 19 June 2015 on the ground that, based on the information supplied in support of the application, he does not satisfy the medical conditionality for the scheme.

The person in question was notified of this decision, the reason for it and of the option to submit further evidence in support of his application for review and of his right to appeal the decision to the Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO). If he opts to provide further evidence for review and that review confirms the original decision to disallow, he will retain the right to appeal the decision to the SWAO.
