I can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance from this man on 14 October 2016.

On 10 January 2017 the person concerned was requested to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on his eligibility. Although some information requested was submitted, there are some items outstanding. A reminder for these documents issued to the person concerned on 20 February 2017. On receipt of this information a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
