The person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 21 May 2018. Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was disallowed on medical grounds as it was decided that they were not substantially restricted in taking up employment.

The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 10 July 2018 and was also notified of their right to request a review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO).

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
