The application for disability allowance (DA) from the person concerned, based upon the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds and the person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 12 June 2015.
Further evidence was received on 29 June 2015 and this is currently being reviewed by a deciding officer. The person in question can expect a decision on the review of his DA application shortly. If the outcome of that review is to confirm the decision to refuse DA, the person concerned will have the right to appeal the decision to the Social Welfare Appeals Office.
