Based on the evidence supplied in support of this person’s application, their application for disability allowance (DA) was disallowed on the grounds that the medical qualifying condition was not satisfied. The person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 13 October 2017.

They requested a review of the decision by a deciding officer (DO) and submitted additional medical evidence for consideration on 25 October 2017 and on 22 November 2017.

On 20 January 2018 they were asked to supply further documentation which is required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on their eligibility. On receipt of this information a decision will be made and they will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
