The person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance on 22 October 2014.

The application, based upon the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds and the person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 28 February 2015 and of his rights of review and appeal. According to my department’s records, no appeal against that decision was lodged.

If the person in question believes they may qualify, it is open to him to reapply by completing and submitting to the Department the relevant application form (DA1).
