Based on the evidence supplied in support of this person’s application, their 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 25 November 2021.

Further medical evidence was received and a review of this decision was carried out. The original decision was upheld and the person concerned was notified in writing on 10 February 2022. They were also advised of their right to request a further review or to appeal the decision to the independent social welfare appeals office (SWAO). To date no request for a further review or for an appeal of the decision has been received from the person concerned.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
