I can confirm that the Department is in receipt of an application for disability allowance (DA) from the above named person on 2 December 2015. This application for DA, based upon the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds and the person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 11 February 2016.

The person in question requested a review of the decision by a deciding officer (DO) and submitted additional evidence for consideration. The person concerned has been requested to supply supporting documentation required by the DO in order to review her eligibility for DA. On receipt of this information, the review will be completed and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.
