The person concerned was asked on 4 September 2018 to submit a medical report so that his continuing eligibility to disability allowance (DA) could be established.

The information received was examined and a request for further medial evidence was sent to the person concerned on 19 October 2018. Once this information is received and a decision is made on their continuing eligibility they will be notified directly of the outcome.

At present their DA is still in payment pending the outcome of this review.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
