The person concerned currently is in receipt of a weekly social welfare payment with which Christmas bonus is not payable.

An application for DA was submitted on 6 July 2015. Based upon the evidence supplied, it was refused on medical grounds and on the grounds that he failed to supply information requested by a deciding officer and which was necessary to establish his means and other relevant circumstances.

The person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 16 November 2015. The person was also notified of his right to a review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office.
