An application for disability allowance was received from the person in question by the department on 16 February 2017. The claim, based upon the evidence submitted, was disallowed by a deciding officer (DO) on medical grounds on 24 April 2017.

Further medical evidence was received and a review of this decision was carried out. The original decision was upheld and the person concerned was notified in writing on 3 July 2017. She was also advised of her right to appeal this decision to the independent social welfare appeals office.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
