The person concerned was requested to submit a medical report for a review of their disability allowance (DA) on 11 October 2017. Their review, based upon all the evidence submitted, was disallowed on medical grounds as it was not found that this lady was substantially restricted in taking up employment. The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 16 November 2017 and was requested to submit further medical evidence to support her case.

Further medical evidence was received on 15 February 2018 and on 29 June 2018, and further reviews of this decision were carried out. The original decision was upheld and the person concerned was notified in writing on 11 September 2018.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
