The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 20 February 2019. The first payment will be made by his chosen payment method on 1 May 2019.

Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of any overlapping payments.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

The person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 7 December 2018.  Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds as it was not found that this gentleman was substantially restricted in taking up employment.

The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 14 March 2019 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. No request for an appeal or review has been received.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
