This lady submitted an application for disability allowance on 12 November 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 27 February 2015 and of her rights of review and appeal. No appeal was received.

If this lady believes she may qualify, it is open to her to reapply by completing and submitting to my department the relevant application form (DA1).

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
