The department received a claim for invalidity pension (IP) from the gentleman concerned on the 03 August 2016. He was refused IP on the grounds that, based upon the evidence supplied, the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. He was notified on the 17 October 2016 of this decision, the reasons for it and of his rights of review and appeal. He requested a review of this decision and submitted further medical evidence in support of his request. Following a review of all the information available it has been decided that there is no change to the original decision. He was notified on 25 November 2016 of the outcome of the review and of his right to appeal the decision to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office within 21 days.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
