Based on the evidence supplied in support of this person’s application, his application for disability allowance (DA) was disallowed on the grounds that the medical qualifying condition was not satisfied. The person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 5 April 2018.

They requested a review of the decision by a deciding officer (DO) and submitted additional medical evidence for consideration on 20 June 2018.

On 27 September 2018 they were asked to supply supporting documentation required by the DO in order to make a decision on their eligibility. On receipt of this information a decision will be made and he will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
