I confirm that my department was notified by the Social Welfare Appeals Office on the 16 February 2017 that the appeal for this gentleman was upheld and was deemed to be medically suitable for the scheme.

His file has been passed to a deciding officer (DO) to implement the appeals officers’ decision. As the person concerned omitted to fully complete the form, the DO sent these to be completed and returned. On receipt of these documents, his eligibility will be determined. The person concerned will be notified in writing once full entitlement has been established.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
