The person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 5 May 2021. Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds as it was not found that the person concerned was substantially restricted in taking up employment. The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 14 June 2021.
Further medical evidence was received on 24 June 2021 and a Deciding Officer is currently carrying out a review of this decision. Once this review is complete, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
