Following a review of the entitlement of this lady, it was found that she had an increase in her means from her previous assessment. Based on the information provided to my department, a reduced rate of disability allowance (DA) was awarded. The reduced rate became effective from 1 August 2018. Notification of this decision issued on 21 July 2018.

The recent means information which was submitted has been passed to the relevant area for a review to be carried out. The person concerned was asked to supply further 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 and she will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
