The disability allowance (DA) application from the person in question was disallowed on 23 October 2015 because a deciding officer decided that he did not satisfy the medical conditions for DA purposes.

The person concerned was advised of the option to submit further medical evidence and/or lodge an appeal directly to the Social Welfare Appeals Office. The Department has no record of receiving additional evidence is this case, however that may be because it has been very recently received.
