The person concerned was awarded a reduced rate of disability allowance (DA) with effect from 11 November 2015 by an Appeals Officer.

A review can be requested by the person concerned by writing directly to the DA section outlining the reasons for the request. On submission of this request, her means will be re-examined. There are no formal application forms for requesting such a review.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
