The application for disability allowance (DA) by the person in question was disallowed on the grounds that his weekly means were assessed as being in excess of the statutory limit allowable in his case. He was notified of this decision on 11 July 2015, the reason for it and of his rights of review and appeal.

If the person concerned believes the decision to be incorrect, he should send any additional and relevant information to the department together with a short note requesting a review or he may appeal the decision directly to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office.
