The person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 4 February 2021.  Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds as it was not found that she was substantially restricted in taking up employment. 

The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 26 February 2021 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.
