I can confirm that my department received an application for disability allowance (DA) from the person concerned on 21 August 2018.

On 06 November 2018 they were asked to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on their eligibility. On receipt of this information a decision will be made and they will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
