The individual is not eligible for a primary medical certificate under the Disabled Drivers and Passengers Tax Concession Scheme. He does not meet the criteria for the scheme. His application to the Health Service Executive and appeal to the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal were refused in accordance with the scheme's medical criteria. As the Office of the Ombudsman points out, the criteria from the scheme is a matter for the Minister for Finance.
