I confirm that the person concerned has submitted three applications for disability allowance (DA). The current application, which was received on 1 November 2017 was disallowed on medical grounds and the person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 29 January 2018. A review of all three claims has been carried out and it has been decided that the person now satisfies the medical conditions for receipt of disability allowance. On completion of the necessary investigations on the other qualifying conditions, the means test and the habitual residence condition, a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
