The person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 7 October 2021.

Based on the evidence supplied this person’s application for disability allowance (DA) was disallowed on the grounds that they failed to supply the information which was requested by this Department and the medical qualifying condition was not satisfied. The person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 6 December 2021.

They submitted additional medical evidence for consideration and on 28 January 2022. A further request issued to the person concerned for the outstanding information which is required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on their eligibility. On receipt of this information a decision will be made and they will be notified directly of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
