The person concerned was initially refused disability allowance (DA) on the grounds that his means exceeded the statutory limit allowable under legislation for their family size.

On receipt of further information a review of this decision was completed and the person concerned was awarded DA from 29 April, 2015. The first payment was made to the person concerned on 5 August, 2015.
