On receipt of additional medical evidence submitted in support of the appeal of the person in question, a review of the claim was carried out by a deciding officer and the person concerned has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from the 11 December 2014. As a result the appeal is no longer necessary. Payment will issue to his nominated bank account on 5 November 2015. Any arrears due from the 11 December 2014 to 04 November 2015 (less any overlapping social welfare payment and/or outstanding overpayment) will issue in due course. The person in question was notified of this decision on the 16 October 2015.
