Disability Allowance is a means tested payment.

The person concerned is in receipt of DA since 8 November 2016 at a reduced rate as he was assessed with means from property he owns.

Notification of this decision issued to the person concerned on 8 November 2016. They were also notified of their right to a review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent social welfare appeals office (SWAO). No request for a review or appeal was received.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
