The payment of disabled person's maintenance allowance in any individual case is a matter for determination by the health board concerned having regard to all the relevant circumstances in that case. I had inquiries made of the Eastern Health Board in this case and have been informed that the board are awaiting a specialist's medical report. On receipt of this report, a decision on the application will be made without delay.
