Based on the evidence supplied in support of this person’s application, her 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 26 September 2018 and was also notified of their right to request a review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO).

They requested a review of the decision by a deciding officer (DO) and submitted additional medical evidence for consideration on 02 October 2018.

This additional evidence is currently being reviewed. Once a decision has been made, the person concerned will be notified directly in writing.
