Based on the evidence supplied in support of this person’s application, her application for disability allowance (DA) was disallowed on the grounds that the medical qualifying condition was not satisfied. The person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 3 November 2020.

Following the submission of further medical evidence by the person concerned, their case has been reviewed and they have been awarded DA with effect from 7 October 2020. The first payment will be made on 16 December 2020.

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.
