Deciding Officers (DOs) are appointed under social welfare legislation to decide, among other things, whether or not a person is entitled to a statutory payment such as invalidity pension. When a DO has reached a decision, it is recorded in writing and the notification of the decision which issues to the customer includes the name of the DO.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
