The person in question was disallowed disability allowance (DA) on the grounds that he was not medically suitable for the scheme. He appealed that decision to the social welfare appeals office (SWAO).

My department has been notified by the SWAO that the appeal for the person in question has been successful.

A deciding officer will now implement the appeals officer’s decision and the person concerned will be notified in writing of the details as soon as possible.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
