On 28 October 2020, the person concerned was notified that their application for disability allowance (DA) was disallowed. Based upon the evidence submitted, it was refused on medical grounds and because they failed to supply information which had been requested by the Department.

The person concerned was requested to supply bank statements, proof of her current address and details in relation to her college course 2020/2021.  These all remain outstanding.

The person concerned 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 a review or an appeal has been received.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
