Following a review of the entitlement of the person in question, disability allowance (DA) was disallowed with effect from17 May 2017 as she was deemed to have means in excess of the statutory limit for her circumstances.

Further information was supplied by the person in question with a request for a review of her entitlement. The deciding officer (DO) reviewing this case upheld the decision to disallow payment as means were still in excess of the statutory limit. Notification of this decision issued on 27 September 2017.

Further means information was received by this office on 6 February 2018 and is currently with a DO for review. The person concerned was requested to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on her eligibility. On receipt of this information a decision will be made on her DA application and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
